Brad I totally understand.
I suffered my first concussion at 5 YRs old. I have since had at least ten other diagnosed concussions. what I thought were syptoms of a stroke were actually caused by either my cervical injuries or my brain injuries.
My wife would panick as my speech would slurr and I wouldn't/couldn't talk to her. I sometimes would get sharp electrical shocks in the back of my head and pain on the left side of my head.these symptoms would only last about 20 minutes or so. although I still suffer from the migraines and mild dimentia(not diagnosed, just what others have told me) my cervical surgery has cured my stroke like symptoms for now.
