Last year a friend of mine had a mini stroke resulting in the same symptoms as you are experiencing. He was immediately put on a course of medication and within a few weeks, the loss of feeling in his hand began to subside. He now has full use of both hands. I many cases the symptoms of mild strokes do subside. Some quicker than others. But it's still a real shock to the system. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Pricing up interlinked smoke and heat alarms as they're a legal requirement in Scotland now (not sure about the rest of the UK).

Nightcrawler Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I got a call from my GP just now to follow up recent blood tests. He told me that I have an underative Thyroid, which would account for the fatigue I have been experiencing for the last few months. He has prescribed medication for me to pick up at the pharmacy tomorrow and hopeful I should start feeling the full effects between 4 and 6 weeks. Yet another medication on top of others for me not to forget to take. I have enough drugs already to open up a pharmacy. I have a low vitamin D level too, apparently, so that's another lot of pills to add to the list. 🙄As we get older, these things creep up on us I guess. The NHS must have spent a fortune on me over the last 10 years but that's the time when we most need it, and I have paid plenty in. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
