stinaNYC 0 Posted August 18, 2006 So glad to hear that you're doing so well...can' timagine what a shock that was for you. Please continue to get better! I do want to point out that your advice to women over 30 to get off birth control pills is erroneous...women over 35 *who smoke* are at increased risk for stroke, but it's incorrect to say that all women over 30 should get off the pill. Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jachut 487 Posted August 18, 2006 So glad you are OK. That's very scary, especially since I"m 39 too. YOu make me glad I've never really taken the pill for any lenght of time. Then again, I have more babies than I intended to have, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MelodyJ 0 Posted August 18, 2006 I cannot imagine having a stroke...you are SO YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!! I am 38 so things like this make a person think!!!!!! I got married @36ys old and wouldn't take teh pill because I was over 35 and overweight....don't smoke, but figured the other 2 were enough!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!! I am praying "LIFE" over you and continued joy and healing!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless, Melody Banded 3/20/06 -77lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancySmiles 2 Posted August 26, 2006 OMG Christina!!! I haven't been on in so long and just got on tonight and saw this!!! I JUST spoke to you what seems like only weeks ago and you were fine!!! I am so happy that you are ok now....It's horrible to go through!!! I only know this because......on the day of the BIG BLACKOUT, August 14, 2003, I walked up 2 flights of stairs since the elevators were out, got to the top and could not feel my left side!!! I had a stroke too.....which was the final straw and deciding factor to have the lap-band surgery. Luckily it was a "tiny" one.....and I completely recovered with no deficits. It was, just as for you, the scariest day of my life!!! I am truly glad that you are well again and I apologize for not seeing this sooner....call me anytime......I am here for you!!! Hugs, Nancy* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted August 26, 2006 Thank God!! My mother had a stroke the day before you and her speech has not yet fully returned. It could have been so much worse, however. We're thankful to still have her with us and LBT is so grateful to still have you!! I suffered clots in my legs and lungs several years back and I too was told to take my hormone patch off IMMEDIATELY!! Sorry I missed this thread last week, but I'm so thankful you're doing well!!

Penni60 45 Posted October 14, 2006 I am so remiss in posting here. I talked to Christina about a week ago. She is doing better and better. Still struggling with recovery but on the road finally. She hasn't come here in awhile mainly because she has been so focused on getting better. She promised she would come and post when she can find the time and feels up to it.
