Default Freshmanitis?

You know, when you read something and think you have it. In the last six years I have had 2 brain surgeries for aneurysms, 3 strokes and 4 seizures.

Lately I'm super tired in the afternoon, cannot deal with heat.

From the website:


Loss of balance: yes. I have reduced the number of falls

Muscle spasms: I do have an occasional charley horse in my legs

Numbness or abnormal sensation in any area: my hands go numb occasionally

Problems moving arms or legs: I can’t cross my right leg without lifting it with my hand

Problems walking: I can’t walk that far or stand too long

Problems with coordination and making small movements: yes

Tremor in one or more arms or legs: not really

Weakness in one or more arms or legs: my right side.

I do have diplopia on the periphery. I have been diagnosed with hemiplegia, diplopia, dysarthria and a couple other things. My latest MRI did not show a new bleed but I now have the “claw” on my right hand and cannot open it all the way. Good thing I’m left handed.

Could this just be stroke residue or something else? Discuss…

I do work out at a place that only works with stroke survivors.
