Missus made a suggestion..........

"Maybe you have had a mini-stroke" she said.

So got to doing some research on ye olde worlde webbe.

"Not so much a mini-stroke" says I, "looks like it could be a proper job" says I.

This was all after I was admiring my desirous physique in the mirror and noticed a bit of wasting of muscle in my left arm and what appeared to be a collapsed vein just around that muscle.

I hadnt thought about it before, but it tied in with something that happened about 3 months ago. I lost all strength in my left arm and my dinner tray went crashing to the floor. I thought it strange at the time but with all the chemicals the doctors had been getting me to swallow I wasnt overly surprised, and put it down to that.

Now I must start remedial action and start building up the muscle and strength in that arm again.

I am not bothering with the doctors. They have already intimated that if I was a house I would be demolished. It also doesnt fit in with my lifestyle philosophy. I just hope that when the time comes I will be as confident and strong about death as I am ordinarily.

I really wish you would go to the doctor norm; it does sound like a stroke

  I have also got the numbness across the lips and cant smile on one side. But there is really no point in going thru a process just to extend life a few years.
  The health service is skint enough already. My lifestyle has been my down fall and I dont see why others should pay for it.
  
  I have had a good life and we all have to go sometime - you cant fight the inevitable.

    Oh hell norm!!! That's not the way to look at it!
    
    They manage to save the lives of murderers and rapists and child abusers and thieves etc... I think you deserve more than any of these types of people; whether it's you own fault or not. Even if not for yourself; you should do it for your family.
    
    But it is up to you; wish you would reconsider though.

at the end of the day its your life and you are in control of it noone else. it may be worth geting it checked out in case its not a stroke and is something they can give you a magic pill for and clear up. but also if it is a stroke and it was confirmed it would just clear up that 'wonder if..' thats probably racing round your head.

they cant force treatment on you and sounds like it was just a little one (your not walking round in circles and your not dead-i hope). alot of people have small strokes in their sleep and dont even know. but they can be an indication of a massive brain fart on its way.

when your ill its not only your life it affects but also the people around you so you have to think about them too and decide how much you want your illness to affect their lives not just yours.

if all else fails stick your finger in a plug socket and give your brain a jolt to kick it back into gear...works for me lol

Oh hun that sounds worrying

Get it checked out you deserve that much for yourself and your family and if you decide not to take the treatment that is up to you but knowing what you are dealing with is better than not knowing

Hugs xx

If the stroke indeed had happened three months ago and you've had these malfunctions for that long, then there's probably not too much the doctors could do now.

We all have to die. If you're not afraid of it, continue as you do right now. If you are worried, do go see a doctor to prevent the next stroke.
