I had a question about Hashimoto's Disease or Hashimioto Ecephalitis. I have a history of a stroke and TIA. I was recently hospitalized for a fall from a suspected stroke, but they ruled it out. THey said my platelet count was low. I cannot have an MRI because I have a pacemaker. Although they have ruled out stroke, I am still having problems with aphasia and my speech is very slow. I feel like I'm thinking very hard to find the words I need.
