Tanya, Age 41

South Australian woman recalls early signs before stroke. Tanya was just 41 when she experienced a stroke. “I remember talking to my husband. Apparently I indicated to him that I had a severe headache and the next thing I remember is looking at my hand and feeling that though it wasn’t attached to my body. It was almost as though I was drunk,” Tanya recalls Tanya remembers some early signs leading up to her stroke, “I had dizziness when I moved from one foot to another, chronic headache, some erratic behaviour and high blood pressure.”
Tanya’s stroke was two years ago and some month’s were spent in a rehabilitation centre.

Tanya’s life is slowly getting back on track and she has returned to work 4 days a week. Tanya has a positive outlook and believes that one day she will have more use in her arm and be able to walk again more confidently.
