Question: I thought I had 2 days to answer upon opeining and clicking on the answer, which I didn't. And I paid for this on Dec.9th in the evening, so I should have all of today - I DO NOT WANT MY THREAD CLOSED!
I WOULD LIKE THE SAME DR. XXXXXXX BN; it would make it easier!
Plus, I had a mini-stroke on Sat, XXXXXXX 2 when I wanted to get back to this, and then problems with our computer for a few days, until today, with switching over to windows10. My reference # is HCM164650 !!!! My thread started on 12/22! Can you help me out! plus, I have only about 10 maybe 15min's right now, as I have to get ready for a DR's appt., and I will have more time tonight. My time should not be up!

[I will have to be really brief] . so, I had a mini-stroke on XXXXXXX 2, at 10am in the morn. My right hand went numb, it swelled up (I told my husband afterwards that it started to look like a creature's hand) and was puffy. It only looked like tissue, it looked a SMALL blown up balloon, my fingers were going to the sides and every which way, as I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT, AND COULDN'T FEEL IT! Then it started spasing from the wrist, up and down. I went to the room where my husband was, and by then 1minute later, 90% of the swelling went down and u couldn't tell, but I still couldn't feel it. He said it was nothing. About 2minutes later, we went to get coffee in the kitchen, and I said "yes, i'd like some "co____". I couldn't get the word coffee out and I didn't know the word for it either. Then about 45seconds later, the word came to me in my mind, BUT I STILL COULDN'T SAY THE WORD COFFEE!
I put my clothes over my pj's since i had just woken up, and we did go to the ER. Having appt this aft w/a doctor for a followup. have to go, and then i can see your answer, But how can my previous thread w/my stomach pains tie into it? thinking it is uterine fibroids. I saw my gyno yesterday, and she agreed along w/endometrios, or even ovarian cancer. having ultrasound for that on Monday morn.
oh, and my Blood pressure is high. 179/99 at the hospital, and now around 151/101 typically the last 5 days. ok have to go. thank you.

Yes, with the TIA and my high BP, I am worried about having another stroke. [Ii have had problems w/my right arm twice before. And I remembered two days after the TIA, that my left temple above my ear was fuller/puffier/expanded a bit more the nite b4 it happened. Is that strange?

But at least we know my BP is high now, and can take steps to control it. We are not there yet; the DR I met w/on Friday afternoon (right b4 I wrote the last question), said he would like to take another blood test; it will be sometime nxt wk, see the hospital records and results from Jan2 mini-stroke, and I have a physical w/him on XXXXXXX 18. So I imagine I will be put on some meds for that, but we would like to find out the source of it!! Oh, I did have an MRI and an EKG, and blood work of course, where nothing (blood work part) was explained to me. I imagine that will come from my DR?

The other issue still, is the possible uterine fibroids (1 possibility out of 3 so far)>ultrasound on Mon for that. But the gyno also mentioned she wanted to give me a biopsy but can't w/the BP still so high.. So how will that get resolved?

So i'm waiting til have ultrasound and more blood work nxt wk...

thanks for your coming info.

Hello.
Been thinking i'd like to take an asprin (i took two low-dose ones at the house b4 we went to the ER, as a nurse friend said to do that as my husband ck'd my smile and asked me 2 state names), but i'm waiting for the additional blood tests i will be taking. I figure i want it pure, to not screw up the test w/changes.

I will copy what you said about the doppler and ask my DR on the 1/18 appt. I don't know about any cholestral problems - our nurse friend (my husband's godfather, Peter) looked at a copy of my labs from the ER that i brought with while we were watching Hawks football game yesterday, and he said my glucose and sugar levels were normal.

i guess i will know more when i see DR on 1/18, and then getting today's Ultrasound results, on Wednesday. (so i will keep this active w/you, so i can find out more...). Wed i'll know more i imagine. Worried a bit about those results too. Not natural to have all these pains and bulge in my stomach!

til next time. thanks.
