Although its still said that hemiplegic migraine is a rare form of migraine, some experts theorize that it may not be as rare as has been thought; that hemiplegic migraine is perceived as rare because its poorly understood and not diagnosed. Because many of its symptoms are also symptoms of other issues such as stroke and epilepsy, hemiplegic migraine attack can be quite frightening, both to the migraineur and to those witnessing the attacks. Proper diagnosis and treatment are especially essential with this form of migraine. Imaging studies and other testing should be performed to rule out other causes of the symptoms. Its important that people with hemiplegic migraine understand their migraines as well as possible and not panic when they occur. With continuing research, especially genetic research, more is being learned about hemiplegic migraine. As this research continues, living with hemiplegic migraine will become easier. Does this encourage you? Do you think enough research is being done? Do you have a doctor that is educated in and interested in HM?
