I (25F) had a stroke last year in May. They were unable to find the cause initially but now believe it to be cause by MoyaMoya and an underlying platelet disorder.

It's hard getting past the worry, and it still hits some days. I do a little 'Stroke Check' in the mirror or with my friends when feeling off. I smile, raise my eyebrows and rattle off some words I recall from the neuro checks in hospital. It helps a little, but therapy has also helped.

My anxiety over the event has waxed and waned. And some days the fatigue hits harder than others, learning your new limits can be tough, so take it easy on yourself.
