Paid to see a doc so I could have a half hour conversation. Came out less wise than before! He says it’s very unclear that I had a stroke (no MRIs done at the time and only thing now is my wobbling). But he’s saying I need blood thinners, up my statins, and ACE inhibitors. I don’t like the idea of that. Seeing an NHS doc next month so I’ll see what he says. Brains are still such a mystery and not just to the owners!

You should push to get an MRI scan. My (fairly minor) cerebellar stroke wasn't diagnosed until I finally had an MRI scan done (of head and neck with contrast). Then it was very clear.

I had my stroke in June 2017. It was misdiagnosed as complications from the surgery I had just had. In October 2018 I had a head MRI, actually called an MRI Brain and IAC with and w/o contrast. This was ordered by my ENT to see if there were any reasons for my single sided hearing loss. This resulted in the MRI scanning the Cerebellum. Even after all this time, the Cerebellum showed the damage caused by the loss of blood to the brain.

So you can still get an MRI to see if there is damage to the cerebellum.
