Thanks Janet, So sorry about Posting in wrong place. Andi xx

Thanks Kelly For commenting on my Introduction, Your Right Talking about it really does help and there are some great people who Help with all Angles of what we are going through, I had a major set back last week when I became very Ill after Drinking Orange Juice with my Meds i felt awfal and a bit like a Train Crash where all it takes is somthing really Stupid to start a whole heap of other things comming out, Im not one for tears but I just couldnt stop I felt such a Fool, Esp' when I compare my small TIA to others, this got me down even more to see so many people trying to help me when all i was thinking was I didnt diserve this Help ...I really felt Stupid. after a Hours or so i started feeling alot better though and with great help from a phone call from Mrs Gaurdian Angel I was back on the Happy Road. Sorry its a bit off the OP, Oh and sorry about the Spelling and Grammar, Should have spent longer in school. All the Best Kelly Andi xx

Hello, Does anyone know about Having a Camerra Put Down your throat then having an Injectoin in the Heart? this is what the Dr at the Hospital wants to do to me? (got a feeling he dont like me) why cant they do it with ultra scan? Im getting quite worried about it, so anyone with an Idea please. I was Born with an Hole in my Heart but am told that it Closed over soon after i were Hatched so no Problems ever. But I mentioned it to Dr in Hospital durring my Short stay after Having the TIA and he said that sent Alarm Bells Ringing (though I never Heard a thing) Im one for Worring about things like this So any help would be good.

Hello My Name is Andi Im from Hampshire, and Im a Gardener on an English Estate, I had a TIA on the 19th August 2009, It had been a Busy day at work with one thing and another, 6pm came and I thought I would go and Have a shave, I felt a strange feeling on my tongue like I had pins and needles on it, then my Lips started to tingle then my left Arm felt Heavy so i used my right arm to finish Shaving, I clambered into A bath an started to feel rough, with that my leg gave out, I asked my Wfe to phone NSH direct, she said what had happened they told her to get me straight to Hospital, Flipping Hek i thought just what i didnt want, still thinking that it was from somthing that had bitten me during the day at work. Got to A+E and they took me straight through to a Bed where i was wired up to everything, Anyway to cut a very long winded Story short, I had a CT scan and it reveald that i had, had a TIA (I had no idea what this was) I felt fine so why were they so concerned? I thought, By Now it was 11pm and I was back to normal (well as normal as I can be) Felt fine and wanted to go Home. No said the Drs and Nurses youve had a Stroke, Huh? a Stroke? But the Drs said earlier somthing about a TIA, I was getting Confussed. (it dont take alot either) Anyway after a nights stay in a ward full of people with Alsorts of things wrong with them i was then moved down to a Ward for People that have had Strokes, where I met the Consultant Avril Macdonald who was like a Angel, She explained things so easy to me i now understood what had Happened, I then was told i had to have Scan on neck think it was called a Doppler Scan, that came out well as the Nurse told me I had Arteries of a 20yr old and all looked good, (im 40) seeming i used to Smoke 30 a day. Anyway I was out of Hospital on that Thursday Night the 20th of August with a load of Pills. I took the rest of week off then Started Back on Monday feeling "A" ok. Now Almost 7weeks on Im feeling alot better, or by having a couple of set backs, But thanks to another Angel, Holly, I am back on track, (I must add Orange Juice and Drugs Dont work for me.) I know this was nothing in Comparason to what most of you have had on here, But I find talking about this really helps me, I feel Kinda Stupid when my emotions seem to take over. Drugs Im on are 75mg Aspirin 40mg Simvastatin 200mg Persantin Which Are Awful to take, and now I take em with Yogurt, Makes em easier to Swallow. The Hospital I was In was Winchester, I would Just like to say a speacial thanks to all the Nurses That took care of me. A thank you to Keith B as well for allowing me on this site And a Big Hug to Holly (Brenda) for all the Help x Regards to you all Andi
