Hi, first, I would like to welcome you.

Brainstem strokes can be that most and least debilitating type of stroke. Mine caused quadriplegia and loss of speech while I know others that you can look at and not see signs of a stroke at all.

I'm not sure what happened to you but staying close to your doctor and maybe a neurologist is going to be in your best interests. My advice to you is to write everything down that seems different to you and report it at your next visit.

Be aware of the stroke warning signs, which can be found at http://www.strokeawareness.org/ and have a plan of what to do if you think that you are having a stroke. My stroke started with symptoms on a Friday night and it was not until Sunday night that I had my stroke . I was having TIA's and had absolutely no idea of what was going on. Everybody that you needs be aware of is on that website.

Good luck!
