We went to the stroke clinic yesterday after being told at A&E that is was a TIA , now the consultant says the episodes that he had were not strokes because the slurring of his speech and problem with the use of his leg were the only symptoms and if it was a TIA he would have not recovered so quickly so what's causing it , Possibilities are the rare migraines that were mentioned at the other hospital , Overactivity of the brain and it could also be linked to his epilepsy , This has been controlled by drugs for well over 20 years even though its grand mall , The consultant is sending him for a brain mri so we should have some answers ,He has told that he can now drive , The strange thing was all the episodes started in the morning about 10.30 so we are not travelling until the afternoon , So we are really happy it's not a TIA but still don't have any concrete answers.
One another note please be aware there is a telephone scam going about , This morning i had a telephone scam that was supposed to be from BT , we are with virgin thats why i knew it was a scam , It was telling us that out internet was going to be permanently disconnected and to press something to continue , which is when i put the phone down , A few minutes later another call came saying out of area so its coming from a call centre out of the uk this one asked us to listen to an sms text which i didn't , then it rang again which i then ignored.
