Hi

Sorry to hear about your episode :(

I'm not surprised by your fatigue, it's par for the course.  However, the presence of numbness & movement deficits lead me to think that you had more than a TIA.  By definition, the symptoms of a TIA completely resolve within 24 hours.

Are your symptoms a carry over from the original episode or did they appear later?  If later, I suggest you get checked out again.

Also you mention spastic movements - have you been diagnosed with spasticity?  If so this indicates, neurological damage in the brain or spinal chors.  If not, just to let you know that spasticity has a specific meaning in the world of stroke/neurology, not just lack of control.

HTH
