I had my daughter 7/20/1998. I almost died. They say it was DIC and I lost over 37 Units of blood. This is what I was told. Spent some time on life support in ICU in a medically induced coma. They said they gave me that medication that gives you amnesia so that you don't remember anything. Since this incident I've had some issues with memory and speech. When I first came out of the coma I had issues of a feeling of explosions in my head with a taste of clay in my mouth. That was not long term. Also I am not as articulate as I used to be, and stumble over words sometimes, to where it feels like my tongue does not work properly, or is larger than normal, or like a stroke victim where I have issues with thinking of one word and another coming out.
I have within the past 6 years had issues with aspirating on my saliva and it seems to be getting more frequent. Should I be concerned?
