Hi well a year has gone by. GoodDrs referred me to out of town neurologist i had seen before about the memory loss after migraines...had about 20 last year. But 2022 not as many and it seems just as I think oh havent had a migraine for a while, iget one! Anyway, last August neurologist said not to worry about the memory loss type thing but I did tell himabout odd frightening other attacks at home and long story short he ordered mri and I had small stoke April 2021. Anyway, today again ocular migraine and again after vision cleared could not remember names of friends etc., and got upset but as before as time went on names came back, i phoned daughter to come over as panicked... just wondering 'why' not thinking clearly after a migraine/ Anyone else?? I had ct scan last spring and have results here somewhere saying white matter.... but no follow up as had no family dr. and now nurse practitioners too busy as more serious issues other people have who are waiting for treatment but I do worry as Mum had Alzheimer's for many years an I don't want that life.... j.

Have you had your heart checked. My mom had strokes and some dementia. We thought she had another stroke .. ER nurse said she thought a UTI .. but it turned out she had Type 2 Mobitz. With it the heart rate goes very slow .. bradycardia. She really needed a pace maker but she would not have survived the procedure so they took her off one medication that can trigger it. It helped, but for about 3 weeks after she came home she had no idea who I or my husband were .. it was off and on thing .. finally more off than on.
If prone to have strokes any infection like a UTI or pneumonia can cause weird symptoms. That is what we were thinking was happening … but the Mobitz .. which we had never heard of before .. was another thing to handle. we bounced back for awhile.
I hope you find your answers and they are something you can deal with.
