i am 20 year old female uni student. 5 month ago, i have a numbness around my left side of head and throat with a pain behind
my neck. For first two days i am absolutely normal, except the numbness and once difficulty to walk down the stairs. After 2
days of numbness, i couldn't think. i have difficulty answering question and difficulty understanding what i read and
hear and doing. i forgot what i have seen and heard and difficulty explaining something. i loss my imagination and become
unaware of my environment. i have difficulties catch up with my environment and peoples speach and i lost my knowledge. i
have search the internet and i have the symptoms of TIA such as numbness and blurred vision on 1 side, lost peripheral
vision, deafness on my left ear and i lost my logic thinking and so on. i do not seek for doctor until 3 weeks, the numbness
gone, but i still feel like i'm living with one side of my head. after 3 months, i've seen the neurologist and take
the test and i pass because the numbness has cured but i still have the difficulties and the deafness. because of the
numbness has cured, he closed my case and didnt pay attention tht i cnt think. he assume tht i am stress. i got no idea whts
going on and this will affect future life as i feel like i'm living like autism person. i cant adapt to the environment
n i lost my personality. learning process is a very hard thg 4 me.i lost my focus. i have give up seeing doctors cause they
will say i'm depressed. but i know something not right n i'm living with depression n i cnt thnk clearly.

Answer by Dr Noopur S, MD (doctor) on Mon 23, Feb 2009 11:35pm:
Hi,
It is important to know if along with the neurological exam an MRI of brain was done. If yes then was there
any positive finding on MRI.
If your neurological exam is normal and MRI is clear then the possibility of neurological lesion is very
less.
Another possibility that needs to be looked into is migraine because migraine can cause symptoms like
numbness, memory loss, blurred vision, and deafness.
Please discuss this possibility with your treating doctor. In the meantime you can try taking magnesium
supplements and see if they help.
