    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. For a few days after the stroke she could barely open her eyes because of swellness of the brain, but could talk although we could barely hear her. 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?

    TIA?

    On Sunday 9/30/2018, sitting down with a cold drink in a coffee place, I experienced something I have never felt before. My head started to feel weird and my vision was completely or at least it felt as if I was crossed eyed. I didn't know what was happening but I turned to my 11 year old daughter and asked if my eyes were crossed. She told me they were not. I was tempted to call 911 but I didn't because I was in a crowded place and figured this would pass. It did pass I'd say after about....
