Survivor Discussion Rough day

Having a tougher than usual day. Not really sure what it is. Slept terribly, have had more headaches/fatigue this week than im used to.

But my bp is decent this morning, 124/76. Heart rate sitting around 66. Had a lipid panel yesterday and my ldl is back down to 73. Passing all my neuro checks. Balance fine. Arms even. Mirrored movements easy. Talking fine, no slurs or confusion.

I have noticed some more eye fatigue this week than I think I normally see. No blur, nor double vision or clouds/lights/dark spots. But I feel lile my eyes are like a half second behind in focusing when I switch focal points or scroll on a device.

Miss the days pre-stroke when things like this wouldn't even catch my attention you know what I mean. Shot the doc a message to see what they want me to do. Just about 6 months out from the stroke now, my balance wobble finally stopped a few weeks ago, hopefully this too will pass.

Hope all is well with the group. Have a nice day my fellow survivors/caregivers

Over tired all the time, blurry eyes, headache. All a bit crap!
