Hello everyone i was wondering when you have  bad CH do you have trouble talking, finding words and beeing abit confused? this happens to me ..scary

Certainly it happens to me, and it's truly a scary experience, but I'm a bloke.

I'm also startled to learn that anything in the world could leave a woman speechless!

Yes I do on all of the above.  It also might be a good idea to get your Thyroid checked.  :)

funny Mr aussi Brian  ;D well thanks for reasurring me , i thought i was having a stroke. Probably just a stroke of genuis  ;)

My speech gets affected by both migraines and CH. It is something my supporter picks up on as an early warning sign that I'll be having one of them soon.

Yes I do... all of the above, and it's all the time not just when I'm having a CH. Should I be concerned? And what would my thyroid have to do with this?

Yes, if the speech issue goes on beyond a Cluste attack it would be wise to talk to our primary care doc, first, with the view to a neurological work-up.

The speech issue is not, in itself, a big issue but you need to consider it may be a symptom of other, more significant, neurological issues.

I've never really thought about it.
I really hate having to talk at all when I was getting attacks, But cant say that I have any problems finding words or being a bit confused.  But, I retreat to be alone, So maybe if someone was present during  an attack, well,maybe they would disagree. I just recall, trying to focus real hard to beat the pain and ride through it.

i become agitated and anxious when the pain is over k6  so maybee the anxiety has something to do with , i get up search for things all over the house , dont know what i am looking for, get mean when someone doesn't understand what i say the first time, i don't want to repeat. i am the tazmanian Devil.... god i just realized that  ;D

My speech doesn't slur, but I do have trouble finding the words and my husband often has to finish sentances for me. Luckily he always knows what I'm trying to say. Confusion too. But both these are only for the duration of the attack. Once I've recovered I'm back to normal.

well this is really helpful ans stress reducing seeing that i am not alone .

one things for certain, you are not alone !
agitated, yep, totally intolerant of the most simple things when having an attack.

I slur my speech during attacks.
Partly due to the pain,partly due to my mouth droops on that side.
I just want to be left alone.
Very agitated.
I also have light sensativity badly.
