Good morning all.

As some of you are aware, I decided to go to the Cleveland Clinic. I had gathered up all of the doctor notes and records anc copies of the various X-Rays, MRI, MRA, and CT-Scans I have received since November 2004.

The doctor I went to at Cleveland Clinic looked over all of my records, looked over the various films, and said the following, "You did NOT have a stroke. You had a migraine headache."

I did some looking online for headaches and found there is a very rare form of migraine headache called a hemiplegic migraine.

The symptoms associated are the same as those I have described in my previous posts.

What I have done so far is come off the counadin (with the addition of an asprin in its place). I know those risks but considering that my last episode occurred while I was on coumadin, it seemed like a non risky thing to do.

For now, I am going to go into more of a lurker mode until they (the battling Neuro's) figure out what is going on.

I will let you when I get more information.
