Posted by lyonsdenn6

she has been suffering from severe migrains for years and when she was 8 years old she has the german measles and hemorraged from her left ear and my parents didn't realise until she was about 15 that she was deaf in her left ear from it.  Her migraine were very severe she would lose vision in her left eye and would become dehydrated from vomiting so much.  She kept going to a regular GP her gave her a nasal med to take to relieve the headaches.  It seemed she couldn't function without it.  Now we find out from the neurologists who took care of her this week that the medicine is like giving her heroin!!!  So besides her blood pressure being high 290 over220 and her diabites out of wack she was also going through withdrawal.  they moved her yesterday to a rehabilitation facility but I guess in route her vitals didn't look right.  Before the move she was doing well she was paralyzed on her left side from the first stroke but was talking well and eating and in good spirits.  That is why they decided to move her. What the heck could have happend between Sunday and Monday that changed to give her another stroke? They even had her blood pressure under controll the bottom number was 60. I can't figure this out and wisdom?
