What Could Cause Abrupt Paralysis Of The Entire Right Side Of The Body?
I have had a stroke. Within 24 hours i had recovered from the entire right side of my body being paralized. My gen. doctor thinks I had a tai, my neurologist thinks I had a stroke and a hospital in California where my son took all my records thinks I had a stroke, buy of a different type. How do I find out who is correct?

You are a lucky person to recover from th paralysis you suffered for 1 day. Medically , you have had a TIA which in colloquial terms means a stroke which recovered within 24 hours. Affection of brain function due to loss of blood supply means a stroke which could be transient or full.
I think it is more important the treatment is better understood as the TIA can progress to a full stroke if not careful. TIA is a warning and keeping healthy would be a good idea to concentrate on now. Wish you all the best
