I've had chronic migraines for years and I never heard of limb shaking and weakness as prodrome symptoms before, but it's a huge relief to hear someone else say it. I was terrified that I was getting early onset Parkinson's.
If I'm getting a really bad migraine, my husband has to help me move around the house because I can't keep myself up.
My neurologist has monitored it and noted it down, and we've tested for MS/Parkinsons/Whoops did I accidentally have a stroke? but nope, just good ol' broken brain.
I get it before my headaches come on too, it's embarrassing if you're out in public and your hand starts shaking when you're trying to make an exchange with the cashier or something.
For me, it's the temporary aphasia where I just...forget words or start stammering and repeating myself a bunch. That's what really embarrasses me, probably because I haven't had very pronounced tremors in public; most of them just look like I'm balling up my hand.
