Discussion Stroke. Who had it?

[Justnotme]

Can anyone tell me how you felt this pain?
I know you can read about the symptoms on the Internet, but I want to talk to real people about it.

How bad was the pain?
What were your feelings?
What can this pain be compared to?

Have you had a brain stroke or a heart stroke?

I had a stroke it wasnt painful just extremely scary

I had multiple strokes, I didn't even know. All I knew was my right leg randomly lost all feeling. Scarily enough, it happened while I was driving. I was able to drive home, and literally hobbled back into my house. Then my stubborn ass waited 24 hours before going to the ER. I didn't learn I had strokes until the MRI of my brain showed it.

Hard to say, honestly. Since I only had the strokes just less than a year ago now. It's something I've wondered myself. I've been suicidal on and off since I've been 12. But I've never felt this bad before.
