I’ve had 5 ischemic strokes. I was aware of them when they were happening because the right side of my body went numb. One of them- the most significant- I was not aware of when it happened. I just woke up one day and the world was totally different. It felt like I was in a bizarre dream, like I was falling into madness. The whole world felt strange. My spatial-temporal awareness was altered. Doing ordinary things was difficult, like doing them in a mirror. I went to the ER. Many tests and an MRI later they found a stroke in the Fornix. After that I have committed to a stroke recovery and life improvement plan of daily >140 BPM exercise, juggling, studying math, general reading, and eating healthy.

Thanks for sharing your story. I can only imagine how disorienting it must have been to experience such a shift in your awareness. It's inspiring to see how you've committed to your recovery with daily exercise, juggling, studying, and healthy habits. Keep up the amazing work-your dedication is a great example for others on the stroke recovery journey!

Ischemic heart attack is actually caused be lack of blood flow to the heart. IE; high blood pressure . Happened to me, Kaiser medical insurance decided to cut off all pain management drugs. I have a ruptured L3L4 disk that is directlyl impinging on my central spinal nerve. I had an ACTUALL ischemic heart attack due to extreme high blood pressure 221\112 Freaked out the emergency room personal after the saw the stats. And realized that I drove myself to the emergency room

[@BillGasiamis]

Wow. Hope you’re on the mend.

Listen to the experts, avoid stress, educate yourself, take your meds, sleep well, change your diet, work your tail off, be patient and learn to love yourself. God does not make mistakes. Use this time away from your daily grind to reinvent yourself into the way you always wanted to be. We all just got a do-over.

[@BillGasiamis]
