Spent the last week in hospital, made a new friend there and got told my symptoms are not due to a stroke as was expected. Still looking for a cause but was able to go home and cuddle my kids again. :)
Crossing my fingers for future answers that are relatively good! But I’m glad you’re home!
I have no idea what your symptoms were but I ended up in the hospital several times for related symptoms that turned out to be an ischaemic migraine with aura. Thankfully I no longer get the eschemic part just the migraine with aura. So no more face and arm going numb and forgetting how to speak and feeling like my brain has turned to mashed potatoes.
Just wanted to throw that out there in case you wanted to look that up and see if your symptoms match. Doctors are much more knowledgeable about those these days so I hope they would’ve told you about that if those were your symptoms but, I found out from my eye doctor because several ER doctors had never heard of it.
Thanks for your input and care. And yes they told me. My symptoms are pretty unusual in terms of migraines, they tend to stay to long and I have no headaches. This is possible but rare.
The fact that its but life threatening is enough for me for now. I will let the process of elimination take its its course and try to reduce stress where I can to keep the anxiety down as much as possible.
Its still possible my emotional health is causing this, but I’m betting on my neck for the next checks.
Idk if you have PTSD or CPTSD but one of my good friend is having something similar. Her neurologist thinks it’s related to her (quite aggressive) PTSD. Thankfully the neurologist wasn’t all “it’s all in your head.” So she’s getting a full work up next week including MRIs and various nerve testing stuff that I personally don’t understand lol.
If she learns anything interesting or a specific test can rule anything in or out, I’ll come back to your comment here and let you know. Obviously, follow your doctor’s advice but, more info can sometimes help.
Sincerely, good luck. I hope they find the cause and theyre able to help you. Health things like this are absolutely terrifying. Your feelings, whatever they may be, are valid. Wishing you the best of luck! ❤️
Thanks that may be true. I have lived through some pretty bad stuff emotionally the last few years with a lot of really bad panic about losing my kids and my home. Might be possible. Weird is that the neighbors wife has the exact same symptoms and progression…

Sounds like a double positive!
