Stroke SymptomsSome of the signs and symptoms of a stroke may include sudden difficulty speaking or understanding speech, confusion, and numbness or weakness in the face or limbs (especially on one side of the body). Other symptoms associated with a stroke can include dizziness, loss of balance, and vomiting. In general, symptoms appear suddenly; often, multiple symptoms are present at the same time. Call 911 immediately if you suspect that you or someone else is having a stroke.

TIA and StrokeAlthough they are similar, a stroke and a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, are not the same. A stroke causes symptoms that last for at least 24 hours, while the symptoms caused by a TIA usually improve within 30 minutes. While a TIA is not as severe as a stroke, people who experience a TIA may be at a greater risk to have a stroke.

So I suffered both within a week, had I not known the signs and what to do
prior to the ER there was a great chance of suffiering a severe stroke,
and permanent paralaysis.
Knowledge is power.

After getting a great deal of run~around from her doctors, as well as a couple of additional TIA's, SD called her hometown doctor. THIS doctor advised her to come home and he would take care of it!!!

SO. I got a call from SD a little bit ago.....they are on their way to East Tennessee as I type this ~ home for both of them, so SD's family will be cared for while she undergoes the day surgery for the stint tomorrow.

She sounded relieved to finally get some help on this.

I'll let You know as I hear and am given permission to relay.

Great post..So glad you saw it coming. Thank your lucky stars and Shaman and the universe that is soooo big. Good news to hear you are better too.

My friend Milana is GETTING BETTER>was off the ventialtor all day yesterday, was able to spell her name (moving her mouth as she still has the trach/O2) , and raised her eyebrows when I told dumb jokes.

Suzi K. a woman I worked with ignored the TIA's, was at a meeting at work and totally stroked out. It was a long raod to recovery.
Thanks for thinking of others, and please, take good care of yourself. She was busy taking care of a sick husband and a teenage daughter. Plus she decided to diet and eat zero fat, and I think her brain was starving. Thus, my desire to stay away from diets
