There are things called TIA or Trans ischemic attacks. They are a mini stroke. Please call your MD and go in! Better to be told its an MS things and go home, then to find out it was a precursor to a stroke and be admitted for weeks.

I agree with the others, Marion. Better safe than sorry. At least if it is something that needs to be addressed you can have a choice in the matter versus being in an emergency situation that might cause permanent damage.

That must have been pretty scary. I hope and pray you felt better as the evening went on, but glad to hear you're seeing your pcp. Please let us know how you're doing.

I saw my PCP this morning, and he ordered a whole lot of blood work. He also calmed me down when he reminded me that my last two angiograms showed that the blood vessels are quite clear. He said that means that the likelihood of a stroke is greatly reduced. He said that I shouldn’t panic because he isn’t panicking, and that he isn’t just going to put me on a bunch of anti-clotting medication unless they are really necessary.

What a relief! So many other doctors would just put me on a bunch of blood thinners and send me on my way. I really like my PCP. He said that if my blood work comes back OK, I should mention it to my MS doctor.
