10. Hey, you can overcome this.

I don't know what your condition is which is causing you to have these mini-strokes, but I just want you to know that I understand how terrifying something like this can be. No matter what the cause.

Follow your doctors advice, etc. but most important, never give up and keep fighting.

P.S. Murphy is adorable! He's a total squee!

[shenmue]

13. Thanks

He is barking at a lizard now.

11. Hang in there.

Hope you're doing better. Go to the ER if you can.

BTW -- what's the significance of the Orthodox Cross? I too am Orthodox.

[shenmue]

14. Thanks

I became Orthodox in 2013.

I'm sure it will all settle down once they get the right mix of meds.

22. Very scary, shenmue.

Hoping for good news from your doctor today. Take good care of yourself!

24. Thanks

[pinboy3niner]

23. Take care of yourself!

I'm glad it was only a minor event. I have VA health care but I'm even thinking of paying out-of-pocket to get the health tests from from these vans that come around and do hi-tech tests.

I'm constantly amazed that I've lived this long.

[shenmue]

26. Thank you

[R. P. McMurphy]

27. I'm so sorry.

I hope you have someone who checks on you. My mother has these and they are so frightening. Am sending healing vibes your way.

35. Agree with all the folks

who recommend going to the ER. You might benefit from the tests they can run, including an MRI and MRA of your brain. Then getting the proper meds can calm things down. Did you have any side effects like inability to speak or tremoring in either arm? If you're writing, these were most likely mild, but shouldn't be ignored. Wishing you the very best.

36. Thank you

I have had every scan in the alphabet. The most they have found is a very tiny cyst in the left front part of my brain. One doctor said it's due to age and does not cause TIAs and tremors.

So it must be... elves.
