My doctor gave me a prescription for Lorazepam 1 mg when the anxiety gets too much for me. It helps with nausea as much as Zofran did for me. A few months after my basilar artery stroke in Sept 2024 I managed to get shingles then a difficult bronchial infection and lastly I have developed rheumatoid arthritis. So now I get to be on steroids for who knows how long. I'm certain the stroke had something to do with facilitating the later illnesses, all immune deficiency related. I can't imagine having a busy lifestyle like yours; you must be a lot younger than me! Are you putting too much stress on yourself? Maybe it's time for you to slow down a little? A stroke is nothing to be casual about because one stroke may lead to another one someday if you don't take precautions now. Strokes don't seem to care about your age. Just speaking from experience.

@crewsr - just wanted to see how you are doing after your basal artery stroke? Are your shingles all gone? Did you have postherpetic neuralgia?
