TIA's Speech and memory loss
by idbl_fanatic, Mar 13, 2007 12:00AM
Hi, I am new here, and I have been trying to find any info that I can. I am 34 yrs old, on Feb 12th I was showing signs, I had VERY slurred speech, but nothing else, then I was fine after about 20 mins, I was fine until the 13th, when it happened again, at which time I called the Dr, and was told to come in the next day. The only reason I didnt call or go to the ER, was because I was put on a nualogical the week before for carpel tunnel, and I though this was the cause.
Anyway, when I went to the Dr on the 14th, he sent me to the ER, they said that I had a blood clot after an MRI. While I was in the hospital I experianced numbness in my right hand/face, and weakness in my right arm. This continued for about a week afterwards. Last Friday 3/9 I got really dizzy, and weakness in my arm again. To the ER I went. How long can I expect to have this happen? My speech still comes and goes, depending on how long I am talking for (which affects my job, because I am on the phone), and I have noticed that I have trouble remembering things that JUST happened.

I'm betting that your problems will clear, but you want to protect against repeats.
