stephen Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi Folks Not posted for a while. I am a worried camper tonight. I have recently found out (thursday) that I am having regular TIA's for the last three months. This week I have had four. Initially the hospital thought it was severe seizures in relation to my epilepsy (perhaps changes to my medication) that I developed three years after my SAH. On Thursday I found out that the professor of epilepsy has referred me to a professor of strokes. I have been in hospital and had CT, MRI scans that only showed the my brain was exactly the same as it was 5 years ago. So any ideas or information from folks who may have a shared experiences. Love Stephen (Clydebank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Firstly Stephen sorry I moved it from the green room as I felt noone would answer there because people go there to write what they are doing today and things xxx Anyway I am not a doctor but I would get a second opinion the reason for this is my dad's mate had a brain scan for headaches (showed nothing wrong) However he recently started going blind only for a few seconds at a time (still not nice) but his new brain scan is different showing about five tia's, so if your scan is no different from five years ago I would say you haven't had a tia in the last five years. But like I say I am not a doctor but go and get a second opinion and good luck. Jess.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul99 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 hi young Stephen Im sorry you are having to worry again having TIA s is not good I see you thought it maybe epilepsy has the dr done an EEG which would confirm epilepsy? I understand how you feel I know that TIA's don't always show immediately it takes time to develop and leave traces of the site if there has been TIA's. TIAs are not a good thing as such but I would push for an earlier appointment to see the stroke expert when you get it I would also ask that the epilepsy specialist gives you an EEG to put your mind at rest and to rule out a particular type of epilepsy. All you can do is wait unfortunately and trust in the drs. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
