Anxiety is your enemy in this situation. I did the same thing going on line and reading all the negative but stopped it within a week. I am not the type of person who dwells on the negative. Be positive about the help you're receiving, follow everything the neurologists and physicians tell you to do. I visited with my family physician last week and got him dialed in on whats taken place and now feel good about having a team working with me to win this life challenge. My advice is to dwell on each day you wake up and focus on everyday being a good day. Im still dealing with some what i classify as mild brain fog and have started a diary for my team to work with.
I am eating right, doing cardio every day and focus on family and my work. Life is too short for anxiety! It's wasted energy. I really hope you find this information helpful.

Thanks so much for the supportive words.
I have been a bundle of nerves.
Anytime I have a headache I think it's happening again or if I feel slightly dizzy or twinges in my right side.
I actually had a massive panic attack at the Weekend and I thought I was having a heart attack.
I was very close to calling an ambulance.
As you say anxiety does not help. I think I'm going to see somebody about my anxiety. Time is the great healer.
I'm a single mom so always worry all the time about who will take care of my children so when this happened I actually sat down and made plans for what to do in case something did happen which made my mind relax a little.
It's only the third week so I'll be happy when I have the first month over me.. will feel a little better.
My diet is super healthy now and I'm really high doses of cholesterol meds and diabetes medicine which I was not before. I'm also back at work which was very stressful the first day when I realized I couldn't type ...I couldn't get my hand to work as well as it did before so I started crying hysterically and left.
I'm having my transesophageal echocardiogram on Friday wondering has anybody had this because I'm really nervous it sounds very invasive.
I've had bubble test ..cat-scans echocardiograms MRI's next week I'm going to have a stress test..
Thanks for all the support everyone

So much I really appreciate that reply..
I am trying not to be anxious but it has been really hard.
I'm still in the process of trying to find out on the investigation stage of what caused this and if I knew what caused that I would feel a lot better about my prognosis going forward.
It's the fear of the unknown and reoccurrence that is making me anxious.
I have drastically changed my diet completely and now do as much mild exercises I can until I build my strength up.
