My husband had an stroke 6 years ago in his thalamus which caused him to be confused, short term memory loss, some long term memory loss,etc. The good news is that he regained almost all of his functioning, but some small short term memory issues. 3 weeks ago he worked in the yard in 100 degree temps for several hours. The next day he woke up with the same symptoms as the stroke 6 years ago and we assumed he had another stroke.

I had a mitral valve replacement 5 years ago. I continue to have short-term memory loss, reduced reading comprehension, and difficulty processing information. It is extremely frustrating, trying to cope with this as a middle school teacher. Given my age (51), I'm not sure an alternative career is in the picture.I try to cope by always being prepared in advance (living for the post-it note); however, this is taking a toll in the form of 12-14 hour days and working weekends to "catch up.
As my DD is in Keppra, and has previously been on other seizure meds, the Keppra, by far has had the least amount of side-effects. You could ask if some of her mood changes, memory loss, etc. are from the stroke vs. the Keppra. Please do not wean her off the medication without a Dr's directive... that could cause withdrawal seizures.
My thoughts are with you that your mother gets well soon.
I remember looking it up on the internet at the time and some of the symptoms were short-term memory loss, loss of balance and short steps when walking. Do you know what he was referring to? He has since left his practice and is working at one of the hospitals recruiting Dr's as internists for the hospital. His replacement (recommended by him) has no idea what he was talking about (real promising). Can you tell me what he was referring to? I will remember it if I hear it or see it.
The neurological deficits following a stroke can vary from half body to lower limbs paralysis, speech deficit, memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, etc. you need to wait and watch as to how much function can be retrieved. You need to consult a neurologist for the assessment of neurological function deficit. He would be able to guide you to a neurophysiologist also who can determine your memory loss and work with behavior therapy. it is very difficult to comment any further. Take care.
I have been searching for information on the web about hair loss after a stroke. I had a subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke from a brain aneurysm in January of 2010. I had an endovascular coiling treatment to stop the bleeding, and I have since had a repeat coiling procedure (in April) when it reopened.
