Thank you so much for answering my post. To me someone that has had a stroke is unable or has difficulty speaking or has partial paralyses or an inability walk etc. None of these symptoms apply to her. This is part of why what is happening to her is baffling me. She has not been herself for over a year but that coincides with her being put on the anti-depressants, she is a drinker (sometimes a heavy drinker) and the doctors continue to change her meds. I know anti-depressants and alcohol are a no-no & so does she, but we are all the masters of our own destiny. As far as functioning she is okay. She speaks clearly (has a masters degree), walks unassisted, drives, and eats, as though nothing has happened. Someone that did not know (and some people that do) would never even think that this has just happened to her. Her medical situation now is (or so the doctor thinks) is adrenal & she has a low sodium level. She has drastically improved her sodium intake and it has made no difference. She is tired all the time (maybe the newest anti-depressant?) She is back to being suicidal, and agitated. If anyone out there can offer any kind of help or advice it would be tremendously appreciated.
