I haven't been officially given the diagnosis of microvascular disease, but they seem to have ruled out other causes for the cryptogenic (unknown origin) strokes I've had the last few years. Most have been asymptomatic, and the 2 with clear symptoms resolved quickly. I've been left with a very slight balance deficit, but otherwise fine. They put me on plavix to prevent platelet clotting. It's been almost a year, so far so good.

Hi there. Can you tell me more about your cryptogenic strokes? And what were your symptoms, if any? How were they resolved? I have had an MRI about a year ago. On low-dose statin. Wondering if I should see a neurologist. Thx. Arlene

Be careful on Plavix ..was on it for years .. had a stroke of the right side of thalamus gland .. it was caused by my body no longer breaking down the Plavix .. My dr's never did any checking or blood test to make sure it was still working properly ...now on Eliquis ... You have to be your own advocate anymore too many things can slip through the cracks ..
