my dad has had the same problem for a few years now
he has had his liecence taken off him due to his health
he started with t.i.a but was not detected in time took them over 6 months so his problem got worse

they have detected mine straight away so fingers crossed with the right medication i should be fine :-/

The modern treatments for TIA's are very good and many people can make a virtually full recovery when detected early :y :y :y

Best of Luck mate... Thinking of you and your family

As Lazydocker says -- catch them early and outlook is far better.

Main thing now is for medics to find the cause and treat any nasties they find.  Take it easy for a while now tho and ( almost impossible) try not to get to worried about it. Keep the old BP low.

The car, as nice as it is, is just a car ..... take care of yourself.

Nick, Sorry to read about your mini stroke

As others have said take it REAL easy - no exertion until told otherwise.
On the bright side, gives you a good excuse to put your feet up  :y

With regards to the car - definitely look at an auto mig, i changed from a manual to auto last year and don't miss it

Like everyone else, very sorry to hear your bad news so take it easy and look after youself. As others have said, if caught early enough the prognosis is good. Im sure youll be back behind the wheel before you know it -and there is nothing wrong with autoboxes! Might not be as fast but, trust me , once you get used to them you wont want to go back to a manual unless its on a track!

asasautin reteud T
   po x od
  x 4 weeks

Means:  drug type
             by mouth x once daily
             for 4 weeks

BUT ... check with the pharmacist -- these are usually prescribed TWICE daily.  That OD could be a BD (which is twice daily).

Very sorry to hear all that Nick, but at least it seems to have been caught early so there is every chance the doctors can quickly put you on the mend. :y :y

As for the car, I know what you mean about losing that is like losing your legs! :( :(   I am an insulin dependent diabetic and the DVLA have insisted on my license being reviewed every three years after "medical reports"! :o :o  >:( >:( >:(   However if you buy an auto that should keep you on the road for hopefully a good few years to come 8-) 8-)
