Here's how my new year began.THE SYMPTOMS
Awoke January 1st to numbness in my right hand which spread to the arm, leg, neck and face, all on the right side. Big headache and vertigo. Trouble collecting my thoughts enough to speak coherent sentences.
MY REACTION
SHIT! I'm having a stroke!
SOOOOO...... Went to the hospital, where symptoms subsided. Got a EKG, some blood work, a CT scan, spent the night and got a Looong MRI. Nothing wrong. Clean bill of health. You're too young to have a stroke. It's probably a migraine. Or TIA, I forgot what the stood for. Something-Something-Attack. Take an aspirin everyday.
The numbness has returned once since then, my doc thinks I may have a Hyperthyroid, which may explain everything. More tests to follow.
And I'm growing a gnarly beard.
So how's your year so far?

I live with those symptoms man! Welcome to getting old.
My vertigo is caused by my sinus problems, which are insane.
I hope you are feeling better and I welcome the new blog.
Damn, Jared! A TIA? Don't want to scare you, but that is some serious stuff! That is what sometimes precedes heart attacks! I hope it is just your thyroid....but take care of yourself regardless!
I also enjoy basking in the cuteness of your children! Send me love to all...
