Rkentzal.....sorry to hear your news. It is a weird feeling and a bit scarey.
If your Dr gives you the ok go camping or do anything else you enjoy.
I had one about 10 years ago in my early 40's. I had a really bad headache a week after pnuemonia. Hubby took me to hosp and they said all ok just a headache.
I got up one morning about 4 days later, hubby was away with work. I couldn't spit to brush teeth, tongue felt funny and I drooled when trying to drink. My one side of my face was frozen, eye wide open, couldn't move a muscle. The other side my face drooped terribly.
Anyway, because of other medical issues I just thought it was something to do with those and it would go away. A few days later hubby came home, took one look at me and rushed me to emerg.
2 weeks later and 24lbs lighter (couldn't eat or drink) I came home. The results....a small stroke on one side and bells palsey on the other at the same time. What are the odds of that happening?
