Migraine is a debilitating neurological disease that is so much more than just a headache. The prodrome (hours to days prior to the headache) and postdrome (hours to days after the headache) are so important because of the associated symptoms including fatigue, irritability, brain fog and much more. The American Headache Society recently released a position statement on “Routine migraine screening as a standard of care for Women’s health”. Migraine affects everyone, but women more than men at a ratio of 3:1. Adequate screening of this disease can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, and more headache free days!

Hemiplegic Migraine (HM) is a rare, severe type of migraine that creates a major medical challenge because its symptoms perfectly mimic a stroke. During an attack, patients experience a migraine headache accompanied by a temporary loss of movement or paralysis on one side of the body, along with issues like speech difficulty or visual changes. Since these symptoms are so alarming, and a stroke is a life-threatening emergency, anyone experiencing them must seek immediate medical attention to rule out a stroke. The article explains that the key to “unmasking” HM is that unlike a stroke (which involves blood vessel damage/blockage and may show abnormalities on a brain scan), the paralysis from HM is entirely reversible and temporary. Doctors must rely on a detailed patient and family history to distinguish HM—looking for characteristics like the symptoms gradually spreading over minutes—since brain imaging is usually normal. Recognizing this distinction is vital for accurate diagnosis and ensuring patients receive the correct, non-stroke-related treatment.
