Stroke vs ms
Went to A an E a few weeks ago with usual symptoms numbness down left side ! blurred vision in left eye and a few other things
Im already waiting for a neurogy appointment before this visit .they were treating me for a stoke had ct scan and other test ect and let me go home because bloods were good and a few days later had a brain MRI
2 weeks later got a letter saying that there is no sign of a stroke or history of a stroke ( i already knew this because ive had symptoms for years !!) Im sure id be dead by now !!! Nothing mentioned about anything eles !! Does this mean that they didnt spot any other lesions !! Or abnormalities or do they only look for stroke signs !! Surely she would of said if there was anything eles ?????? Still got a 5 month wait to see neurogist !!! Anybody eles experienced this ?? Xx
When I had my first attack they sent me to the hospital with suspected stroke. However after being checked over after 6 hours waiting in A & E I was told to go to the eye hospital because I had blurred vision after 7 hours in the eye hospital they did various tests and then sent me back to the hospital for further tests then they ruled out the stroke. Had to go bk the next day for more tests. Was all very frightening in the end after a scan I was sent to see a neurologist which after a year later was diagnosed with ms by letter! 3 weeks before Xmas
Sorry meant to say I could hardly walk, all my left hand side was weak, dizzy, blurred vision and a horrible feeling of just feeling so ill
