21yr old stroke survivor

[JQ]

Hi, I'm a 21 yr old female who had a iscemic stroke 3 months ago caused by my pill. I'm almost back to normal now living my life which I was before the stroke.

I'm on clopidagrel to thin my blood which I need to be on forever.

I want to hear from anyone in the same age bracket - to talk to.

Hi
I'm 29 and I've suffered from 3 strokes - at 22, 24 and 26. I was on Coumadin for the last one and now take Fragmin and asprin.  I've officially been categorized as a cryptogenic stroke patient aka we can't find anything that is to blame.
I had residual affects from all 3 strokes and feel them when I'm tired or stressed but most of it now is phsycological and emotional.

I'm really happy I found this forum as I have found no support groups etc to talk to.  I can be reached at ***@**** if anyone ever feels like talking more.

Thanks.

my mother in law had a car accident in 8-06.  One month later began having strokes on right and left side of brain.  She has had to go on long term disability, cannot drive, trouble remembering words, etc.  In the accident her head struck the roof of the car with quite a bit of force.  One year before accident she had a knee replacement.  Before replacement she had to undergo physical and see cardiologist.  Absolutely nothing wrong with her then.  Has anyone ever suffered from stroke from car accident.  The doctor said something about lesions on the brain, but this was before I could get to hospital.  I lived 8 hours away.  Anyway that was the neurologist on call-nobody could remember what he was talking about.  When the strokes first started it was slurred speach, blurry vision, trouble with train of thought.  Her carotid artery was 45% blocked.  Several more strokes over the next few months.  By 1-07 there was 95% blockage.  Had stent put in.  No more strokes.  Lots of damage to speach and train of thought.  Does anyone know if this could have been the result of her car accident.

My son 13 just had a stroke NOV 28 due a blood clot in his basilary artery (brainstem),he spent 4 weeks in icu and antoher 4 weeks at NYU for rehab he has made remarkable recovery to the point where he is already getting tutoring to go back to school. He has some very slight slurring of speech and some issues with balance, but also seems to laugh at things too easily. he is on blood thinners for the next six months and we hope he can return to being a normal teenager without taking blood thinners but rather just aspirin -any thoughts on the laughing or thinners

I am a 20 year old stroke survivor. I experienced a massive brainstem stroke when I was 18 from my birth control and almost died. If anyone would care to chat you can catch me best by sending me an email ***@**** :)
