stroke symptoms
One time, in the midst of a doozy of a migraine, I wandered into the bathroom and looked in the mirror -- my pupils were unequal! Aside from tv shows, my EMT training said this was a sign of brain damage. Called my wife in to see. I didn't think I was having a stroke -- just saw it as evidence that the migraine was definitely a brain illness. Sometimes my left arm will go dead while I'm sleeping (wake up with a hunk of meat hung from my shoulder) but the cervical MRI & EMG pretty well explain that. I guess if I ever do get a stroke I'll never know it -- I'll think it's just a real bad migraine...
