Numbness??

Yet again I have a migrane but once again no pain just blurred vision amd pins and needles and numbness in hands (typing is slow!! ) - apparently it is because I suffer from low blood pressure (even when not pregnant) - is there anything you guys know that can raise my blood pressure??

Does anyone else get this - migrane when no pain or am I a freak too and what did you do if you did have this happen to you??

To top it all I have to go to the dentist with DD this afternoon and now means getting a cab cause I can't drive!!

Cheers chaps. XXX

I had this when pregnant with ds2, in the last 3 months. I had numbness down one side and it was scary. The more I stressed about it the worse it got.
It put me off driving too.
Are you eating enough? It's just I found it worsened if I skipped a meal and improved if I snacked.

Yes I haven't had lunch yet but had some muesli and a roll for breakfast and have had lots of water and a cup of tea so far today - maybe I should go outside and get some fresh air.

Thanks though fel better that its not just me. XXX
Seeing midwife on Saturday morning so am going to see if there is anything that would help - massage or reflexology or something like that or maybe accupuncture.

Thanks again though. XXX

YW Twinkie xx

try having some dried fruit/banana or something like that. It may help. you can carry raisins round with you to snack on too.
