Hi Sylvia!

Hi Sylvia!

Tia-like symptoms continue but I am learning to live with it as nothing solid has been diagnosed. Latest opinion is I get migran seizures which are similar in symptoms to TIAs. I don't beieve so and my contention remains the same, that is that microembolio hit my arteries in my brain causing the TIAs.

Depression has been in check, lately, but I know I am not the same as I was.\

Thanks sop much for your note

Hello Bob!

Hello Bob!

Hi Bob

Just read your message on the 'small talk' board. I've not been online for quite a while, but often wonder how you are getting on. I see they are saying your TIA symptoms could be migranious episodes! Exactly what they ended up saying to me. I get migraines occasionally and can clearly tell the difference between that and TIA episodes. Like you I am learning to try and live with them. They seem to be less common for me lately thankfully. But, isn't it annoying when the doctors don't seem to understand. I often wish they could be in our shoes for a day and experience some of the things. Oh well!

Just wanted to say "hi" really and let you know I'm in a similar boat to you.

God bless,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan!

Hi Jonathan!

Thanks for your note. Hope all is well with you. I have always felt, as you do, that the Drs try to write off these TIA symptoms as something else. I was told that migrane seizures are not simply the headache that one gets as a migrane.

I wonder how many others get these symptoms. Mine have been going on for over two years.

Take care.
