I knew someone who showed stroke symptom but went away some minutes later. Doc guessed it was TIA (transient ischemic attack?)
I’m not a doc and can’t guess what similarity there might be to what you saw. So scary but they were fine
Thanks to all for your responses and prayers. I looked up TIA before the MRI and it sure sounded like that. But the MRI said a definite stroke - maybe the TIA shows up as a stroke.
It doesn’t seem fair to give someone who is already of “broken” brain another affliction to deal with, but there are many with such out there.
Gd bless my FReeper family for your kindness. Mostly, the family prays for her to be able to live out her time in comfort and no distress.
My father, the same. Had Huntington’s and Leweys. Some of the episodes were shorter than others. Loss of muscular control and/or speech for a short while, then ‘normal’ again. They were called mini-strokes by his doc.
That is what I had. By the time I got to the hospital, I felt like a fool. I had numbness and some weird symptoms and could not remember some names. I was testing myself the whole way. It was fine when I got to the ER. A few years later, I had an MRI for something else and they could see the damage. Weird. My Mom had a stroke when she was 29 and everything was fine except she lost her hearing in one ear. I have had HBP since my 20’s so a stroke and/or TIA is not unexpected for me.
I think everyone’s experiences are different. Part of what makes it so scary.
Prayers up.
TIA is what the docs call it when they don’t want to use the term stroke
