The doctor diagnosed it as a small stroke, I am Aggrenox blood thinners and the test on Monday is called a 3 vessel cerebral arteriogram. My doctor ordered an MRI(which I had on Wednesday) to confirm. I already had a neurologist because I also suffer from occular migraines. What I have lost is my peripeheal vision in my left eye. I see flashes all the time and was hoping that was my vision trying to return. I know I am fortunate in that it could have been so much worse. Like I told someone yesterday who called it just a small stroke, no stroke is small when it is happening to you. Any and all info you can give I would appreciate.... This has hit me like a ton of bricks. I am sooooooo afraid that I will have another one. Every time I feel the least bit strange I assume it is another stroke and get all worked up into tears.
