Q. Why does it take so long to talk!!! I had a stroke Dec 17, 2006. My left side of brain was effected. So my right hand and right leg is hard to use. I have a brain aneurysm, that is not operable. Why can't I talk normally,in person and over the phone so people can understand me.

A. I am sorry to hear about your stroke and wish you a fast recovery.
Here is an article I found which discusses the problem to talk normally after a stroke:

Q. Migraine stroke Hi, I'm 58 years-old male and I have migraines with aura since age 14. Two weeks ago, I felt weakness in the left side of my body, and at the hospital the doctors told me I had a stroke. I underwent several tests, but they still don't know the cause for the stroke (my lab tests are normal; I don't have diabetes or hypertension). My neurologist said that although it's very rare, he thinks that my stroke was caused by my migraine. I tried to find information about it, but couldn't find much – do you know where I can get some more info? Thanks!

A. I was sorry to hear about your stroke. I hope you feel better now. I tried to search the net and found several links you may find intresting:

I hope you'll find them helpfull

best wishes!
