I remember just before I was diagnosed, I had just finished clipping a dog, and was talking to its owner. All of a sudden the right side of my body stopped working, but more noticably my face. All I could think of was, aaahhhh I'm having a stroke (Dad had had one about 2 weeks earlier) I was terrified, but can now look back and realise what was going on.

Now I know I'm having a bad phase if my fingers don't want to type/write chop food etc, and I know its time to sit and relax for a while.
