Was diagnosed with a TIA in January this year and have just had an MRI due to ongoing issues of left hand weakness, fatigue, emotionally flat lined and concentration and processing difficulties.
I have called the hospital for someone to call and go through results but was told it would probably be next week.
Hoping someone can explain a few things if they have had a similar result

I’m not medically trained and can only offer an opinion but it sounds to me like you might have had a stroke rather than a TIA. I had an infarct which was a stroke. It is also unusual to have ongoing weakness following a TIA as that is normally transient and short lived.
When I got a letter from the consultant that i wasn’t sure about I rang my GP surgery to ask them to go through it with me.
Hopefully someone will call you back early next week but in the meantime try not to worry about it.
Best wishes

Thank you Ann
It’s just so frustrating being fobbed off by the GP saying my issues are nothing to do with it because it was a TIA. It’s taken 9 months of chasing and pushing to get anything done and now turns out it was a stroke which would explain everything I’m feeling.
Will try my GP but close to impossible to get hold of anyone these days 
Hi Simon
Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such an in depth explanation.
It really has helped to clarify a few things.
My Mum had vascular dementia and my worry has always been that I would get the same.
Despite the fatigue I walk my dogs a few miles daily and try to eat healthy. Is there anything else I can do to help things?
All the best

There are hacks and tweaks we can do to our gut biome, our mitochondria ( they need looking after since they give us 90% of our energy ), Vitamin D levels, exercise, all sorts of things we can do to improve
good luck
Wow, see that’s why we need you here Simon!
I don’t how you got Chat GPT to decipher that report; I just had a read through the intro and I’m cross-eyed 
But what you produced from it makes perfect sense. Why can’t doc’s just write like that and end the needless waiting and worrying
