    My mom recently suffered a intercranial stroke

    Happened last week while she was working out at the gym, her left side went limp. Apparantly she had been suffering from a brain bleed. So I need some answers.

Towards the end of the week she was complaining about how often the nurses were coming at night to do assessments (every 15 minutes) and she was barely getting any sleep. Finally the neurologist....

    Was it tia

    On April 10th I had an episode...diuble vision..slurring..dizzy..but I waited 4 days til I saw my heart Dr. Who said I had tia and sent me to a neurologist. My symptoms lasted for a good week and I still have some of the exact symptoms. I'm. confused because I thought 24 hours was the limit with a tia to have the symptoms. It's been 6 weeks for me and I still can't see right half The time.. Is there something other than a tia that may have been overlooked that mimics the tia?
