Tia? Posted: 09-05-04 14:46pm
I'm a 60 year old male, I have been
diagnosed with vasculitus mostly affecting
my organs. Last monday I work up
normally, fed the cat and dog and made a
cup of tea, then went to read my email.
I found that I couldn't read the words at
all, when I tried to pronounce then out
loud it came out as s's or all hissing
sounds. This persisted for about 1/2
hour.
45 minutes later my wife awoke and I told
her what had happened, I was reading and
speaking normally.
My doctor confirmed it was a tia but
seemed unconcerned about the elevated risk
of stroke. Is my risk higher now
because of the tia?
Thank you.

My husband has suffered several tia,s over
the last 2 years,we have a very good
doctor and there is a risk of
another stroke.
He now has bad vision
short term memory loss
can't concentrate on anything
lost his confidence.
All these upset him a lot,but I say take
one day at a time.

Risk of Tia Posted: 07-10-05 22:07pm
Hi.
The vasculitis might be the risk of tia,
I suppose.
I've heard that vasculitis may make
artery narrow, dose not?
