Yes JennyO I made a full recovery except for the short term memory thing. The consultant told me that some people have mini strokes or TIAs (Transient Ischemic attacks) where small blood vessels on the brain 'leak' and cause them....in their sleep....they wake the next morning with a monumental headache and maybe tingling feelings but put it down to migraine and gradually heal.....only to have another larger one later as they have not had it treated. In my case it was high blood pressure and I take pills every day to allay any further possible problems. I go to the gym four or five times a week which certainly helps and I eat quite a sensible diet although I let myself down sometimes.
I certainly felt let down by the human race on the day of my attack but forgive and forget......
