Patients who are actually having a stroke most often have one extremity that simply doesn’t work. It is functionally weak, paralyzed, or flaccid—it simply does not move. Speech is slurred, and the face often droops, most noticeably at the corner of the mouth.</p> <p>I had a patient last night with a history of migraine headaches. With this particular headache, she complained of pain that radiated down her neck into her right arm and hand. She described her hand as “hot” and provided an excessive number of additional descriptors for her arm: tingling, “not there,” fuzzy, warm. I’ve heard other patients use similar terms like “off” or “buzzing.”</p>
