AmericanPsycho Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Had a MRI done to figure out why I get nasty headaches and discovered that I had a stroke sometime in my childhood.

AmericanPsycho Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Encephalomalacia, left caudate nucleus body that extends through the deep white matter of the left frontal lobe into the left basal ganglia. Represents a lacunar infarction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 That must have been upsetting to find out AP. Did the doctor suggest anything for your headache? How are you feeling now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanPsycho Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Not really. I've been unknowingly living with the stroke since my childhood. Nothing being done about my headaches at the moment. I'm still getting over the shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Are you at any increased risk of further strokes, AP? I'm sorry this happened to you. Is there anything they can do with the new information, such as occupational therapy options that they might not have considered before?

AmericanPsycho Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I had an EKG, Ultrasound, and blood work done this morning. Will be a few days before I know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 It must be stressful having to wait days for test results, AP. I'm sorry you're going through this. Have your headaches subsided? I hope you feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanPsycho Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I actually got the results this morning. Everything came back fine. Now the Quack wants me to wear a heart contraption for two days. Well that's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
