Yeah, I had a blood clot on the left side on my brain. Dr's say it was most likely caused from my diabetes not being under control for so long, and my veins and arteries getting weak. needless to say, EVERYTHING has changed now, this was a REAL wake up call for me, scare the HOLY SH** out of me, I have lost 79 lbs, still have 36 to go, to be where the Dr wants me, all my blood work is "normal" now, so I am doing as good as I can, the only side effects that I have, is that I occasionally studder, and I now suffer from seizures, but I am on meds to keep those under control, and so far they seem to be working.
