I had a Stroke back in 2008 , I was lucky it only caused Double vision which has now been corrected and some weakness on the right side.

But for the past few years I have been suffering with Dizziness which has now progressed to Balance issues , memory issues and Dizziness has anyone else had these problems plz ?

Hello and welcome,

I started with small strokes in 2006 and have eventually lost hearing on my left side. My balance is awful, I week left side and my eyes have plummeted too. So for me it seems to be a combination of weakness, eye and hearing loss :)

Hello and Thank you,

I wish that there was a magic pill to cure all but sadly there isn't :(

I'm a dreamer can you tell :)

But Thankfully there is an awful lot of nice people to talk to about all these awful things and it makes such a difference to finally talk to people after all this time.

It's true, having others to speak too makes a huge difference, there is only so much information you can find via Google. Ms society has a great forum via there website, with a host of knowledgeable people about neurological symptoms and the Hughes syndrome has a very active posts on here too.

I wish you a good day xx
