I had a cerebellar stroke and TIA back in December. I have had a complete lifestyle change with diet and medication, and I am decreasing my stroke risk every day, but wow, that's horrifying. I had severe vertigo during the stroke, and some numbness and disorientation during the TIA. I have no problem communicating, though, either speaking or understanding. The thought that that could have been taken away scares me all over again.
