yesterday i worked at the hospice shop, while i was there, i started feeling funny, my eyes went and devolped a headache very mild, with this heat ive been having more headaches.
i finished there about 3pm, i went to my mothers for a cuppa tea as my children werent home, while i was there my eyes got worse i couldnt focus and felt odd. so i thought best to go home, mum had done baking and wanted me to take some home for the kids, as i went to put biscults into another container, my left arm went numb and tingling, i said i have to go now, my arm is numb, if it gets to my face im in trouble. i had to leave and fast. i felt it go to my upper lip, as this stage i now the sign of what they call TIAs, (mini stroke) ive had a few of these, bit havent had in 2yrs. by the time i got to my car, my arm felt cold, i drove home, i layed down, doing so made my head so sore, laying down made it worse, so i took baby asprin 200mg. thats what the hospital gave me with my last few attacks. i was so tired i went to bed early. i woke up this morning at 6:45 and my left arm felt like i had slept on it funny but wasnt sleeping on it, my arm is still odd but ok, my mouth and lips are now tingling , my ex husband is telling me to go to hospital, as we have been though this heaps of times, normally these attacks put me out for weeks on end, with weakness, fatique, dizzy spells, odd things, last nite i had pressure in my head, and breathing felt odd, i feel it might be a fluid issue. i dont think this is a mini stroke, i think its a flare up, i dont have these very often since decompression, so anyway, does anyone else get these attacks?
Im better as the day goes on, im left with numbness still in mouth, and sooo body tired.
headache again, im nearly 4yrs post op. im on a wait list for MRI for full spine and brain.
i have no NS or NL under me,
