I have numbness in my left arm & in my lip? with a migraine after?

I get numbness in my left arm.. it only lasts about 15 minutes.. and my lip goes numb as well.. and its followed by a sharp migraine.. and my left eye goes spotted, and delayed vision. no medication seems to help.. .. I have been doctors.. I have had CT scans.. and I have had blood work taken.. no answers.. I'm curious and scared. I heard numbness is a symptom of a stroke.. please help me

These are occasionally seen as part of the aura of migraine headaches.

You should see a headache specialist, and possibly consider the possibility of basilar artery or some other variant of migraine in which these are seen.

If you have had CT scans, they may wish to perform a procedure called an MRI/MRA to be certain there is no vascular issue. But it is likely this is a migraine aura.

Basilar artery migraines often mimic the symptoms of a TIA and people are frequently concerned about strokes.

EDIT: It is likely also, that if you have had a CT which looked at part of the brain stem they would have seen signs of demylination if they were present so I would not be overly concerned about MS as was mentioned by the first responder.

I am a chronic migraine sufferer and have had symptoms very much like you describe. The symptoms you describe are not uncommon - and are scary. See a headache specialist and keep a log of your headaches to help you talk to him.

Looks like you might have MS or Multiple Sclerosis.
About 2.5million people in the world live with the condition.
MS is when your body's immune system attacks the central nervous system.
