What To Do For Episodes That Resembles Strokes?
My mother is 82 and has had several "episodes" that resembled stroke, went to the emergency room the last 2 times, but doctors said they weren't strokes. They also couldn't tell me what it was either though. She had another today, so I called her neurologist and he just said bring her in next Wednesday. She has dementia also
