It’s kind of like when it’s really late at night and your mind quiets and you get into the zone for a couple hours.

Caffeine keeps trigging small strokes for me. So, not well.

Factor 5 leiden, so different then most people.


Woh... Sorry to hear that. How does a small stroke manifest?


Entire Right side goes numb, weak and icy cold. Lose the ability to write by hand. Vision goes double. Thinking becomes very difficult. Lose balance, Various levels of confusion. A bad One made me mostly forget my kids for a couple of months.

It’s kind of between a TIA and a full stroke. I used to Get TIAs a lot, but ignored them as they lasted under 30 seconds. Now they are much worse.

Blood thinner mostly Prevent. Side effects can be brutal though. I seem to have permanently lost ability to write by hand. Thankfully typing is mostly intact.

Anything that acts as Vascular constrictors is seriously off limits for me.


I'm really sorry to hear that you deal with that. A reminder for the rest of us to remember how lucky we are.
