TIA

Hello Marlyn

Yes..... I had a stroke 4 years ago, followed by several TIA's. I have had memory issues since the original stroke, but it's getting worse, not  better.

I forget simple things like how to turn the Microwave on, or the cooker. I often have to ask my husband to remind me and that is frustrating. 

Most  of all, I forget peoples names, even my children and grandchildrens, which is really embarassing. I start sentences which I forget mid stream, "what was I going to say?" constantly enters  my head. 

I was only talking about this, last night, to my husband. I thought it was just me! 

It's comforting to know there are others, but I would really like to improve this. I've tried various techniques for improving the memory but they don't seem to help. I would be interested to hear if you get any advice that may help. 

Best wishes 

Pauline

I had an SAH and felt tired as on Keppra to stop seizures but I'd get up in the morning and fall asleep, so I am saying are you on any pills that make you tired and remember 7 months is a little time to get back to how you was before them.

Good luck Marlyn keep a smile near you it really helps xx

 

Hi Marlyn

I had two TIA's and my memory and balance were/are awful so much so that my consultant decided to do an MRI scan which showed damage to my brain he said I must have been having numerous tiny strokes that have gone unnoticed. So the answer to your question is yes, I set an alarm on my phone to remind me of things I need to do/remember which does help and I also feel tired most of the time I think you just find ways to help you remember that works for you.

Good luck

Hi Marlyn I was diagnosed with a TIA of left cerebellum 6 weeks ago. Like you I feel very tired and lethargic and hope that it will get better eventually, my GP assures me it will. Wondered if other people are experiencing the same. I too have memory problems but can't find any info on the internet that confirms that TIA cerebellum causes this, wondered what other people have experienced
