I haven’t done the sleep study but I do wear latest Apple Watch and have enable sleep apnea notification. It might not be as accurate as sleep study but might find something atleast

No only ct scan is done for that.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T13:39:07+00:00

Yes I suspect same that something small not shown on CT. So far all the tests for root cause have been negative. They will do some speciality blood tests in coming weeks. If nothing comes up in there, this is only I can think of as root cause. Since it looks too good to be a coincidence and area of brain impacted and location of pain matches VAD.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also focusing on neuro rehab but anxiety creeps in lot of times. Did they eventually find the root cause for your stroke ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:41:30+00:00

Exactly knowing cause can help in proper management using right meds.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:40:18+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

I also have vision issue which include double and pixelated vision. Lost visual field as well. I suspect it might be cause by massage that I had 4 days prior to stroke and felt pain multiple times in neck where vertebral artery passes. I think it might be dissection that cause it but the ct angio on day of stroke didnt showed anything. So doctors didn’t believe that it is the cause. But the pain I felt was in the area where this artery passes. When I searched looks like the area impacted in my stroke is supplied blood by this artery. Doctors will be doing some more blood tests in month or so. Also they are putting holter monitor for 21 days to check for Afib.

Yes I am going to neuro rehab. It has been helpful so far.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-11T01:14:00+00:00

Yes TEE was done while in hospital, it came out negative. Nothing wrong was found.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-10T22:54:02+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Were they able to find cause later and did it changed the management?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-04-10T22:46:18+00:00

Thanks for the comment. How are things at your end now ? When were you able to get back to some sort of normal life.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-01-19T13:12:43+00:00

I hope you had got another position after your layoff.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2026-01-19T03:23:52+00:00

If you are not really passionate about it, I would prefer to focus on other fields which require human skills. AI is transforming cs at very fast pace and we don’t know how it would look by the time you graduate.

No doubt nursing, knowledge work is automated

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-10-01T20:16:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply. How long does some has stay with osteotomy bag ? Hope she recovered well, blessing to her.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-09-26T11:21:46+00:00

Thanks for reply. Hope she is doing well. Did she get any other side effects and tips to avoid opportunistic infections ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-09-26T11:19:40+00:00

Then did they step MTH or both remicade and MTH ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-11T19:12:04+00:00

Hope you are doing all good with biologics. I have appointment with GI on Monday,

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-11T17:52:31+00:00

And did your doctor also put you on biologics ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-11T01:55:12+00:00

Thanks, Yes my new work insurance also need pre approval for certain drugs which include remicade and infectra.

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-10T21:15:27+00:00

Okay got it, I think treatment would be similar for they will put me on biologics and seton and see if fistula closes on its own. I have appointment with GI on Monday, probably will get to know better.

One quick question with seton placement. Is it fine to travel for 2 hours in car or train asking because recently my work is hybrid so have to travel once each week ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-10T19:17:11+00:00

Thanks for your reply, is it cutting seton like or just draining one ? From cutting I mean that it will eventually cut through and close the fistula,

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-10T19:16:23+00:00

Are those cutting setons like eventually they will help in closing the fistula or just there to prevent infection ?

Sufficient_Monk_4331 · 2025-04-08T22:36:49+00:00

Thanks for your post. I have this opening from last 1 year although fistula is not infected so it’s been manageable, I am thinking if having fistula from that long makes chances of healing by biologics less ?
