    Hi Charl, I've only just read your post, sorry. I too have these and they are hemapleagic migrains. It's an unusual type of migrain and cause the exact type of symptoms. I unfortunately have the same symptoms as yours but they last much longer. For some people it's a short lived episode with only minor weakness in their Hand or arm for example. It sounds like you have it somewhere in between. My neurologist gave me amatriptyalin. The irony that it also is used for fibro. Some sufferers only have a very few of these attacks in their lives, hopefully your one of them. By the way is there a history of migrains in your family? 

    Good luck with the neurologist and take care xx
