,

Please know that I'm thinking of you as you are dealing with the stroke like

attacks this morning. I do know you have been under some recent stress and

stress is a major factor with this disease.

I hope you can get plenty of rest and recover quickly as you must be feeling

very tired.

My prayers are with you too. Thank you for thinking of everyone else.

Alice

, so sorry to hear about the stroke like attract this morning. Do hope

you are feeling better. Why didn't you want to go to ER I have always been

told a person only has a few hours to get to the hospital, to reverse the

stroke. I have had ATI but never a full blown one.

Are you in Houston or Dallas, I have tried calling Baylor Col. of Med.

trying to find someone who is working with Mitochondria Myopathy, and all I

got was " what " are you talking about.

Hugs,

strokelike attack

you probably will hav emore episodes you usually do within 24 hrs. i would

recomend not driving a car or going out anywhere. contact a friend or family

member and tell them you are hvaing a rough time and see if they can come and

pass the time with you..........there are ambulances so we dont' have two

drive so take your coat off!!!!! the fact you have your coat on and had a bad

episode makes me very very nervous and don't forget you can call your doctor

if you have questions or concerns two.

My understanding of stroke like episodes are that IF they are truly a

stroke like episode and not a regular stroke, there is nothing that can

be done outside of rest and nutrition. Stroke like episodes are do to

energy depletion in the brain and a regular stroke is do to a loss of

blood flow. I don't believe a stroke like episode will show up on a CT

or MRI scan like a regular stroke will. If I am wrong about this,

someone please correct me.

Maybe it was a MRS, as they can measure things like lactic acid and

other things that a regular MRI can't.

yes, that was it I believe. I know it was a special kind of MRI machine.

I have read (somewhere) that a 10% glucose IV is the treatment for a stroke

like event to give the brain fuel. That is what they did for mom. They then

had to give her insuline to help to process the glucose. For others, her

symptoms were almost gone the next day and she didn't need any therapy. It

is assumed that it was a stroke-live event rather than a regular stroke due

to the fast recovery. They didn't give the glucose because she had mito, but

it seemed to do the trick.

A PET scan can check for glucose in the brain and since that is the fuel for

the brain, it might show something. This is just a guess on my part as to it

showing something.
