I am fortunate to have no long term damage from the stoke, than goodness! I am not sure when my uncle was diagnosed. He was a doctor and never told his siblings about it until I had my stroke. He suggested my doctors do a panel to test for Factor VIII since he had a history. Luckily my docs had already ordered a panel a few days earlier. My grandfather died young in the 1980's. We now wonder if he had the Factor VIII gene and that caused his death.
