Whilst out riding Actually a mini stroke or TIA Slipped off a log whilst dabbing and went down on my upper thigh quite hard. Whether this is related or not is inconclusive. Don't think I hit my head at all, but the stroke doctor is checking via MRI to see if I jarred my neck. Anyway, 20-30 mins later, started to feel a bit odd, a bit trippy. Couldn't grasp whether things had just happened or were in my head. Almost like dreaming whilst awake Felt a bit strange for the rest of the ride, but rode the bike fine - was aware I was talking a bit strange. Got to the pub and things got worse. Couldn't read my phone, didn't know what the words I was looking at actually meant. Got home and did a lot of rambling and repeating myself apparently. Have little memory of the ride - almost similar to when I've been concussed before So, an ambulance, CT scan and 12 hours in A&E later, I'm now sat in Chesterfield Stroke ward awaiting an MRI Happy days, but thankful for now it's not worse. Good kickstart to stopping the cancer sticks and vapes

Just found out someone else I know is getting over a TIA from a month ago

I'd literally seen a post on Facebook from a bloke I know 2 days previous from his hospital bed. 2 days later I was looking at the same picture that's hung on the wall at the foot of the very same bed ?
