Hello, take heart my friend. I am not a stroke survivor! I am a stroke thriver!
I had a full on drag your foot to the door, left hand clenched, left side of mouth drooling stroke in Nov, 2017.
It was caused by nightmares related to getting off of an antidepressant, Effexor.
.
No one has been able to tell I had a stroke in the last 1 1/2 years. I have full use of everything...
.
I am an RN. I have multiple sclerosis for 33 years and have done the MRI thing so many times in my life.
I am 68 and actively chose not to get it checked out...I hate my neurologist....
.
So today I am great...I chose to take the baby ASA for a year and then discontinued it. I too had been reading about brain bleeds after discontinuing.
I realize I am not being a very good medical example with what I am writing.
There is no history of strokes in my family so I am skating by after that occurance.
Keep coming back because we care.
