Hi,
I had 15 TIA's last year over 3 days and threw away the blood thinners after reacting to them. Still here and kicking, no more stroke problems, so far. I have high glucose levels, excessively high blood pressure and the cholesterol is elevated, none of which are controlled as I react to everything I've been prescribed. With just 2 options left for diabetes, one of which I started yesterday and am already having problems. I've been promised a stroke for many years but am still waiting!
You are right to be concerned, I was initially but as time has slipped by I have gotten past worrying about it, but I do take measures to help my situation, despite there being no more medications available to me. Frankly you'd have to be stupid not to heed the warnings by doing nothing.
Cheers

Oh, that is scary. My mom (before she died) and my sister both have had strokes. My blood pressure is OK, thank goodness. Have you ever tried any anti-inflammatory things? I have my sister take turmeric with black pepper and omega-3 fatty acids because they’re both supposed to reduce inflammation. [She has lupus) I should probably be taking them too! I don’t know if the turmeric would bother my stomach or not. After they removed my gallbladder, I can’t have a smidgen of a spice or I get really sick. But I think fighting inflammation is key. It’s so difficult to know what to do these days. But I wish you luck and good health.
