I am trying to gather as much information to argue for a different diagnosis as I have regained all motor movement.
My current thoughts are to firstly ask for a 2nd opinion / scan on the infarct taking into account technical error, partial volume extract, misinterpretation etc
Secondly as I do not fit the profile - low bp, normal chol, young age, not obese, regular exerciser, ok diet, etc I am very keen to find a causal factor to help build my case.
Your attitude surprises me. Where there is one stroke, there's often another waiting in the wings, and your next stroke could kill you. Instead of shopping around for a doctor who's willing to avoid the s-word so that you can pretend that it's not a stroke and keep flying, you need to be looking for expert specialists who can do everything possible to reduce your risk of having another stroke. Otherwise you may not be around long enough for the government to revoke your medical. A stroke is not the flu—it's brain damage.
