hey john. just read your bio. i am 33 and had a cerebellar stroke 2 weeks ago. i am so lucky that the only symptoms i seem to be having are a feeling of dizziness and general feeling of unsteadiness which is actually worse recently. even though i know i am fortunate i am still angry and sad at times. i was a social smoker and drinker and liked to go out and have a good time. the major risk factor i have is that i get migraines and they have found a strong correlation between those and strokes...ugggh! and it seems tere is nothing they can do about the migraines as mine are hormonally related and i have low blood presure. so i just take an aspirin a day! don't you just feel like you can't believe this is happened to you?? i sometimes feel like i am in a dream/nightmare and that i am walking in a fog. i always considered myself really healthy and i have low blood pressure, low cholesterol and no family hx of stroke aside frm my ma gma who is 90! saying i had a stroke just sounds insane.
so how are you feeling lately? i would love to chat sometime!
wishing you health!

i love your kitty! what a great pic. i wish you continued health! we both seem to be doing well with no real aftereffects. i know i should feel really fortunate but i am still angry about this whole thing. plus i am dizzy a lot which actually seems to be happening more now. i had my stroke two weeks ago. anyway, just wanted to say hi and wish you well! good luck with your publications as well!
