Wow Jennifer-
At least now you know how to make changes that may prevent this from happening again. And yes, good that it was not a tumor or MS. Please get better slowly and surely!! And how great that you can still ride bike!- I bet it will help you get well!

I am so slow when it comes to anything health related and I'm sorry I didn't pick up your thread until now.
What a worry this must be for you
On the plus side, you know what's been causing the numbness. The same thing happened to one of my neighbours last year. She's absolutely fine now and fully fit, working full-time etc.
I'll send some healing thoughts your way

BM3, it's actually great, isn't it, that you got this diagnosis and can treat for it before anything scarier happened. Good for you! You'll get throught this.

Just caught this thread -- Wow, what you must have been thinking this whole time. Shows how strong of a woman you really are. It's good that you now know what's up so you can do something proactive about staving off future ones. A girlfriend of mine had a "mini" stroke about a year ago. (I forced her to go to the doc, she's sooooo stubborn.) In the end, she felt lucky actually b/c it served as an early warning before things escalated. She takes some blood thinners and such now and feels wonderful again.
I wish you and your family all the best.
(And you know where to come to get all the "extra" encouragement you need. They are a great group of ladies, are they not?)
take care

I truly appreciate all the support, thank you.
I am not happy to have suffered a stroke, but at least I know why I have the weekness on my left side and I will be having further tests to check for any bloackage. I am very fortunate to have found this out when I did. I am a tad worried and most likely will not be relieved until the rest of the tests are done. At least I can bike. Biking is threapeutic.

I'm just so glad you can still ride!!! What happened to you is not good, but think how much worse it would be if you didn't have your cycling as an outlet....
Thinking of you and hoping for a full recovery. Do they have any idea why this might have happened yet? You look slim and healthy in your avatar. It's scary to think of a stroke in a healthy female in her 30s.
Keep us posted, and keep on pedaling!

Thank you CyclChyk and Emily! I am quite grateful I can still ride. Yes, I am young, physically fit, and relatively healthy. I have extremely bad migraines which predisposed me for strokes, so it was inevitable, I had just hoped I would be much, much older.

I'm sorry I'm a little late receiving this news but I just caught this thread and I want to wish you the best of luck and a full recovery. I know it must be scary for you and your family but I think that with your strong spirit you'll definitely overcome this little bump of illness. I'm glad it wasn't MS. Many hugs and lots of love to you!!
