Very scary that missing one dose of Eliquis can lead to a TIA. Glad you were able to get help. I was recently in the hospital for 24 hours due to a TIA with aphasia. Like you, I didn’t sleep a wink. How do you normally react to missing a night of sleep? One thing that always makes me really tired for 2-3 days afterwards is the contrast used for scans. Maybe you too? Hope you feel better soon.

@californiazebra Sometimes we get so focused on our health that we forget cause and effect.
This morning, I developed a headache, which is in and of itself concerning. Of course, I began to worry and ask questions like: Should I go to the hospital or call my doctor? The more I worried about it, the worse the headache became.
I'm a three-cup-a-day coffee drinker. For four days now, I haven't had a cup of coffee. Guess what the #1 symptom of coffee withdrawal is? You got it, a headache, so I made myself a nice cup of mushroom coffee, and almost instantly, the headache went away.

@californiazebra Holy Smokes! I never considered that the CT contrast dye might have a detrimental effect on me. That might be where my fatigue is coming from. While my fatigue is not as pronounced as it was yesterday, it is still there.
