Migraine and now I can hardly remember anything about last week...

I had a migraine last week. Really bad and it lasted all week - it was awful. At one point I was hallucinating that there were red ants in front of me. I am still not quite right although much better than I was.

Anyway this morning I was trying to remember where I had put various things and recall conversations and I can't remember anything about it at all and the bits I do remember are blurry and dreamy. It is really strange and it feels like I have lost a week of my life.

Is this normal with a migraine (it is the first migraine I have ever had). It feels really strange and am actually a bit worried about myself?

My migraines aren't like that, but I'm sure they can all be different. I would definitely make an appointment with your GP asap to ask them about it. Hope you feel better soon.

yes I would see GP as soon as you can

My first few migraines lasted that long - really feel for you.
Do see your GP, hopefully she'll be able to help you.

I've never had memory loss, but I have had speech problems when having a migraine. I was really stressed and couldn't say the words I wanted. Eg, I wanted to say table and things like desk or sideboard came out instead. Weird! I suppose it's different for everyone.
