I still have no memory of anything of those three days. Has this ever happened to any of you?
It could be an early warning. If you go to an emergency rm. they have to treat you. I lived with my husb's having strokes for yrs. so even one mispronounced word was a signal to me.

thanks for all the help I told my husband if it happens again to call 911 immediately and he won't let me drive anymore and tries not to leave me alone My Dr did change some of my meds just in case they were causing the problem. But we are watching all the times for anymore problems.

Please go to ER if that ever happens again. I worked for a hospital and they have to take you as a patient. They cannot turn you away. They will get social services to work things out with you or you will not get a bill. They have to do a certain amount of charity work to keep their hospital status.

What were they thinking?!!!! Never ever ignore symptoms that you had! Promise next time, lets hope there isn't one ( but there could be), you will get to the nearest Emergency Room as fast as possible! This is serious stuff!
