I have major depression, siezures and white matter lesions. But had my first ‘small stroke’ (lacuna) 3 weeks ago. (foot paralyzed for 10 hours). However it seems unreal to me. I have to remind myself that stroke happened. How long does it take for one to really believe it happened? Confused.

My husband has had several ischemic strokes over the last 3 months and two small ones prior that only showed on MRI. He is doing well but he has these bizarre sensations like electricity shooting thru his body! Not painful but disconcerting since no one seems to have an answer. He will not see a neurologist for follow up from the April
26 and the June 6 stroke hospitalizations until mid September! That seems crazy!! Anyone know of this symptom and/ or experience such bizarre sensations. He has movement and walks pretty good without assistance. Cognitive is good but vision was impaired. He has a blind spot but Physical Therapy is helping the brain rewire. He has been A-fib forever and now takes Eliquis, Entresto, 325 aspirin, 80mg Lipitor, metoprolol and spironalactane.

I am sorry about your husbands difficulties. However his strokes being so close together it’s pretty scary to me I just had my first one. You also said that he “walks pretty well”. I wonder what is ahead of me. I imagine those electrical feelings he’s having are pretty disconcerting specially when the doctors can’t help. That is really irritating. I will keep you in my thoughts.
