“How long did you take to recover from TIA?”
“It’s been over a week now, almost 2. My doc thinks it could take me 2 to 3 weeks to recover. It’s terrible, my right arm and leg still give me the most trouble with pain and mobility and the occasional left over tingles. My right side of face is still dropped a lil. This really sucks. I’m so mad at myself I initially ignored the war no NG signs due to being in chronic pain with lupus and heart failure. (I also have an aortic aneurysm.) I have moments were I feel, ok I’m getting better, then when the ibuprofen wear off, I feel back to square one. I was also out on emergency BP meds, as it keeps crashing and then shooting sky high and not coming down. (I hate u heart failure!) when mine happened I could not read or understand anything. Among other usual symptoms. Ugh. I get. So. Mad at myself. We are hoping I fully recover. But I keep reading abt so many recovering quickly, I’m a slow healer.”
