So I have been still having some left side droopiness from time to time...not everyday like I was... so bout about three weeks ago or so I went to go get pizza at the local gas station ( hunts pizza) anyway on the way back I started having left side face weakness ( droopiness)..and my left arm felt weak...lasted about 5-110 minutes or so..so I decided to let my neurologist know the next visit the first of the next month...then I was out trying to set t-post , had already drove I think two in and was working on the third one...I do believe I hit a rock ( our ground is rocky, I might add was trying to build another goat pen)...so I go and get the t-post puller and start trying to get the post pulled up with out bending the post ...readjusting part of it...the stupid thing came right down on my head..ouch...so I was done for the day...( and no didn't go to the doctor , I know I should have)..So I thought well I would let neurologist know about it when I seen him in first of the month....
So first of the month rolled round, went to see neurologist...he sked it I was still having left side droop I told him yes...nd told him about the episode I had...so he put me on plavix ( blood thinner)...so I had hubby pick it up since he was already in town( our local town)..He also ordered a 48hour heart moniter...and see ya in 6 months....so I decided I would take it the same time I usually took my aspirin at 2 ( my stomach can't handle taking it in the morning)..so the next day I took it at 2 pm along with the vitamins I usually take...then along about 3 I felt weird on the left side of head, and I was freezing, shaky abit...the left side started drooping , my speech was slurred badly...so I decided to call my neurologist nd let him know, ..then I thought I dont want to wit for a nurse call-back , so I called ER nurse on call...needless to say..I needed to be seen since I had TIA's before so ambulance was called while still on phone...a trip to the ER...
Got to the ER a ct scan was done, labs( while in ambulance), chest x-ray, EKG was done.....then waited until test results were done...to find out what exactly happened...I say I had a bad reaction ..the med made me have another TIA...so got released from hospital and was looking on paperwork ( dismissal instructions)..and they diagnosed me with having a headache...Yes, I did have a headache around the left ear, but still a headache cant make your left side face droop and speech slurred at least I dont think it can...
Needless to say I will no longer be taking that med...I dont want that to happen again...I told one of the nurses that and all she could say was , no it didnt make ya do that....you should keep taking it...I told her I would end up back up here...I thought to myself I dont want to back up here...ya think I'm stupid or something...
So I'm resting today, and I thought I would update this blog, I do feel as if I do have a slight droop to the left side of face....
