Dear R.

Please, as soon as you read this, call again for a doctor. NOBODY can tell you via the Internet what's happening or when you will recover.

You mentioned Migraine in the topics for this question, but then didn't say anything more about it, so I don't even have an idea of any information to offer you for discussion with your doctor.

Please, please, please, call your doctor again or go to emergency. And, please let me know how you're doing.

Hope you get help and answers soon,

Teri

Dear teri,

thanks for your reply i phoned the emergency doctor and explained my situation the doctor even was surprised that i have been send home in the condition that i was and suggested if things get worse to call 999 or go to A+E being that is a weekend nothing much can be done, he assure me that he will write to my doctor and suggest i should be refered to some sort of pyhsio and referals to other consultants, i did mentioned to the doctor that i was upset about the lack of after care he did agree with me and apologised. I shall keep you posted on my condition. ROSE

Update

Hi teri, had a home visit on monday the 28th june from my GP he gave me a full check up and he agreed i should be refered to a nurologist urgently for further tests he was taken aback that i was not tested for further tests before i've been discharged from hospital, as my condition not much change just my hand a slight movement but still weak so i have to wait and see what the future hold for me.
