Post a new topicby mellieha on Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:18 pm

Today I had just for a few moments numbness and lost the use of my right hand, I had been writing for a few hours at work before this happened, I just assumed it was a writers cramp but on going to my GP later in the day, he said I may have had a minor Stroke any comments please?

Have you had any tests run? CT, Neurologic profile, etc to confirm or rule out stroke? Just wait until you have the tests run and evaluated, go get a 2nd opinion, 3rd if you want it. Find out where the best places in the country and best Drs for taking care of you are located. Have supportive folks with you but don't worry - lots of great stuff is being done in this area every day!

Keep in touch with us! Let us know how you are doing!
