@theai Recently, I had a small lacunar stroke. I was told it was deep in the brain, and a small blood vessel, ischemic stroke! I had symptoms of uncontrollable
, ataxic walking, and vertigo, and balance problems. I had several falls, over a period of several months. Double vision and blurriness plagued my vision, at times. Tinnitus is a problem for me. Peripheral neuropathy in all 4 limbs is, and has been problematic for me, for some time. Urinary incontinence plagues me every day! I read where some of those symptoms can be part of what happens in a stroke! I don’t recall that I had one particular event, that struck me as a stroke occurring! I had no idea, just these troublesome symptoms, that I attributed to Parkinson’s Disease, which I have been diagnosed with! Mayo and Cleveland Clinic’s have pertinent information, on their websites, that might help you to understand mote about ischemic lacunar infarcts.
