Aphasia

I can't stand it and I know it does no good for my insulin resistance. Caffeine triggers my migraines (aura with blindness and **aphasia**) and also worsens my anxiety. I stick to low tannin low caffeine tea, but in truth when I'm really unwell I just have coconut water and plenty of water with it to help control my migraines.

Thank you for your advice. 1 year into diabetes 2 and getting help from an endocrinologist. Had covid at Christmas bad,, in early January, ended up in ER with what looked to be a stroke. Tests done,,,A1C high, cholesterol, dehydrated, high blood pressure, along with other things. Tests run,,,told I had long covid and having bad anxiety due to covid. I read my MRI results of mychart when I got home (from insurance), and white matter was found on the brain. I asked to see a neurologist because my dad had dementia. My primary doctor sent me to see Neurologist for headaches!! And that took me months to see him. Long story short,,,Neurologist was AWESOME and was confused as to why I was seeing him because I'm not having headaches. I explained that I had asked to see a neurologist because of what I saw from test of MRI He pulled up my MRI results showed me and said, first of all,,,I AM SO SORRY this happened to you. Then showed me scar tissue on my brain and the white matter. I had a stroke!!! He then left the room, came back and said,,,first of all,,,I'm NOT charging you for this visit and second,,we are getting you in to see another Neurologist (memory for now) as soon as we can. I cried!! I didn't realize the problem with covid and other underlying issues it can do. I'm still **struggling with words**, emotions , weakness, fatigue and body/joint aches. I have good days and bad days. Today was a bad day of body aches, high emotions, agitation and fatigue. Crying because I'm just tired of it all and just needing help,,,my husband proceeds to tell me,,,I need to just take my meds that I'm currently on, at the same time. Didn't set well with me. Function is off and it's more than my meds. I'm seeing a psychiatrist soon and I pray that they will help me with the right meds. And I can move forward

I agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying, not that I have **Broca's Aphasia** or anything!🤣🤣🤣

Every day. Brain fog is probably the worst part for me. **And** aphasia. I use the wrong words or forget words all of the time. My mom said the word "mug" the other day and it took me a good 2 minutes to remember what a mug was.
