After several retinal TIAs in the past 3 years, I finally had a cerebral one. I suddenly had aphasia which was scary. Suddenly I started typing gibberish and became confused. Fearing it was a major stroke I tried to talk and heard gibberish coming out. Luckily I still had full physical capacity and the presence of mind to quickly go to close neighbors for help. I couldn’t communicate but one neighbor knew gibberish is a stroke sign and called 911. I was able to speak again by the time paramedics arrived so I knew then it was a TIA. I was in the hospital for 24 hours receiving a battery of tests. I was in afib the day before it happened so likely a clot. I’m on Eliquis now. The MRI showed a small amount of damage to my speech center. After a week of feeling a little foggy, losing my train of thought, etc. I felt a little more normal today. Still having trouble hitting the right keys on my phone (much more than usual haha). I sure hope that’s my last TIA.
