Hi there,
please don't be huffed if you want to reach me and can't - I am in hospital after a mild stroke.
-
Sorry to hear that! Hope you have a full, speedy recovery!
-
@barliman2001 Hopefully you'll be back in good health soon!
-
you gain all function back. Once you are discharged, message me, as. I want to ask more specifics. I will make sure you will not have another and will recommend a protection plan for your heart as well which is the number 1 cause for mortality after a stroke. Let turn this setback into a stroke of good luck, OK .

No worries, I hope you feel better soon. This forum is rather tame.

@dr-go the doctors here call it an infarctus cerebelli. i had masive vertigo ans explosive vomiting, combined with a slowing of speech and some ataxy of the arms. the emergency doctor attending me did nothing on scene, and I got into hospital two hours after the incident (the fire sevice gad to get me out of the house via a 2nd storey window), and my first exam was a Catscan eight hours later. Even though I described all the symptoms very clearly, they thought I just had post-Corona ear infection, and I got high IV doses of cortisol despite the fact that my right eye is sightless due to glaucoma and the working eye is at risk from same... after four days and a second catscan, they diagnosed the stroke... now I am trying to get transferred from this Austrian hospital to my home clinic near Munich...

God bless you with full and rapid recovery.

Barliman, I will send some more private questions within the next day regarding what I would recommend based on additional information I will send.
In the US we would have given iv thrombolitics especially within a 4 hour window of presenting symptoms rather than steroids. Hopefully your arm symptoms, vertigo and speech has recovered.
Again, watch for messages regarding additional questions I will ask involving lab values and the current and future therapy plans your physicians currently have.

@barliman2001 So sorry to hear this. Hope you have a full recovery and are back in action soon! -Bob
