After being on topamax for my migraines for about 3 months last fall, I began to get the occasional spells of left sided numbness, mostly in the upper side of my body. I was taken off the topamax but since the spells did not go away I am back on it once again.

My spells begin in my fingers and move up into my chest and back, face, head and stomach. This is not the usual pins and needles numbness that is a symptom of topamax. The numbness reduces my motor abilities, and I find it hard to do any fine-tasks eg: playing sports, eating, driving, showering, etc. My heart was checked by a cardiologist and it is not the cause of these symptoms.. Does anybody else have any such symptoms? Or does anybody else have hemiplegic migraines?.. I think this could be a form of those..
