The neurologist just said he can’t tell if the damage is temporary or permanent but it’s new and either way I need to be on blood thinners. They wanted to put me on Lipitor too but I can’t take statins with my neuropathy. He said now that I’ve had a TIA my LDL needs to be under 70 instead of the usual 100. It’s at 97 now. I was also told 10% of people that have a TIA will have a full stroke within 30 days.
