BWBI: it's difficult to appreciate how it must feel to suddenly not be able to speak, other than terrifying. I was fortunate not to suffer any effects from my "event", although ironically I've had a slight lifetime stammer that did not get worse (or better
)
I still don't have an explanation for what happened to me (I have none of the usual risk factors) but am waiting for the results of a 24 hour ECG which will determine whether I suffer from arrhythmia.
My discussions with the CAA are not encouraging so I'll be starting another thread about regaining a JAA medical after a TIA or stroke.

Some new baby wings are starting to sprout
An NPPL based on a DVLA group one medical has been given the go-ahead, so this is at least a small step in the right direction.
(Further test results: a 24 hour ECG was normal - slightly surprising given the range of things that one can get up to in 24 hours

I've jumped straight to the end of the thread, someone may have mentioned it already (In which case ..... sorry!)
Have you and/or your Medical Practicioners considered Bell's Palsy ..... Similar symptoms, but not nearly so dangerous or permanent as a stroke.
