Hi my name is Carolyn Lawson I had a lacuna stoke in Feb but they never found it was in hospital three days can my right side had loss in limbs and face speech but came back quickly. Then in may ten weeks later it happened again five days in hospital still no signs on MRI scan Ct doctor said could be left over from last time for weeks later back to full function. Then last Saturday pain in top of head baby talk then loss of function of my face right side went to hospital Tuesday as it was not coming back as it did in the past told not to bother them as it is still part of first stroke that they have never found. It is now a week my speech and face are getting worse to the point where my face on right side seems to be wasting I have been doing all the things speech therapy gave me but nothing seems to make even a small difference. I am so low at the moment and feel that I do not have anyone to turn to for help every day seem to be something different my tongue is getting pain full and my swallow is starting to be a problem ?

Hi Carolyn,

I’m sorry to hear about your hospital experience. I can appreciate how your current situation is getting you down.

 If you're experiencing a worsening of existing stroke related difficulties, or if new difficulties occur, further medical assessment is required.

You mention that you have new swallowing problems. This is a sign that you need emergency medical assessment. I strongly recommend that you call 000.

 

Once you have sought medical attention we are happy to speak with you on StrokeLine. Our number is 1800 787 653, Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm AEST
