Hiya.
I joined up a while ago but havent been on here much but found the site very helpful with some queries. I had a stroke on the 2/01/2019, so much for the old saying maybe next year will be better. It basically affected my vision but I did find that I am battling to understand things and am feeling fatigued . I had one review after the stroke which really I thought the consultant was going to discuss my stroke but basically all he asked was how I was feeling and showed me out the door. My daughter who went with me and I were quite disgusted. I had an OT visit who checked me over and sorted out a problem but because it was not a physical problem there was not much she could do. i also had a stroke nurse come round and she did one telephone follow up and havent heard from her since. The problem is I still find that even after all this time I still feel the fatigue and still having problems with my vision in that my eyes seem to get puffy and then my vision blurs. Also having problems judging distance. I do go for 3 monthly eye tests as im diabetic and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the eyes themselves so I think it has to be neurologic. Now trying to explain this to my doctor has been a big problem because all they say is that Opthamology says there is nothing wrong with your eyes which is true of course. I have eventually after asking for three months about this problem managed to get them to refer me a diiferent type of Opthamology which will hopefully know what im talking about. Also just wondering if its normal for the fatigue to last so long. Sorry its all a bit jumbled up.
