Title: stroke now cluster headaches
Post by RoboMop on Dec 20^th, 2006, 7:14pm

Hello everyone

I had one stroke 3 months ago. They put me on blood thinning medicine (2 capsules per day). Then I got another stroke, smaller and then the headaches start. The doctor said he thinks it is clusters headache, but wants to send me to a nuerologist.

The headaches started after stroke 2, and got better when they gave more blood thining tablets and steoroids to stop the brain swelling. But hoo-boy, these are bad.

My left side is coming back, but it is hard for me to do to much to long. So please be patient with me. Sometimes I think it is amazing what hurdles are cast before us, so we can overcome.

Welcome and sorry you have to deal with this horror as well.

I began blood thinners in June. I had a TIA....maybe. Anyway I haven't had a serious hit since 1991. The pills haven't had an effect.

Stick around. You will get more from us.
