My symptoms are short term memory loss, communication (repeating myself, not understanding what people are telling me, words I once knew are gone, I say things that I should not say etc.), depression, mood swings, apathy, confusion, judgement, sleep disorders, wondering/Roaming all hours of the night, hallucinations. I have a new Neurologist that's ran all the tests, MRI brain scan, EEG, Cognitive impairment test and MMSE test, I scored 10 points out of 30 points. I didn't find out I've had 2 new major Ischemic Thrombosis Strokes which now gives me a total of 4 strokes, 1 Lacunar stroke and 3 Ischemic Thrombosis Strokes which all took place on the left side of my brain. I was diagnosed with Complex Partial Seizure Disorders 2 years ago and this new doctor confirmed that's true but now I have Epilepsy and Epileptic Syndromes with Complex Partial Seizures. The reason is due to the strokes I've had. It's also his assessment that I have Post-stroke cognitive deficits. I came home and looked that up and it means dementia/vascular disease from strokes taking place on the left side of a person's brain. Can anyone confirm this? I'm scheduled to see him in 2 months.
