Silent Migraines

My neurologist tells me I have migraines. I generally do not have headaches, if I do they are mild. Nothing more than annoying, really. The thing I went to him for is numbness and tingling in my extremities, and in my face. It scares me, to the point of anxiety. It starts in my hands/feet, sometimes makes it all the way to my elbows/calves. He prescribed topiramate, commonly called Topamax, in increasing doses. The symptoms gradually faded, but today all of a sudden are worse. I've been taking the medicine, I'm still a week or so from my follow up, and it's pretty impossible to get in otherwise. Anyone else have "silent migraines"?

Hello, Spiderdaisy! How are you doing?

Yes, those are the symptoms of silent migraines and the medication may not prevent them all, plus you may also be experiencing some side effects from it.

How bad has it gotten? Are you on anything to treat the anxiety?
