What do you think please ?

[cateyes1]

I know you all are not Drs but I was just wondering what you may think. My BF has been very weak and slurs his speech. We know that he hasnt had a stroke although he refuses to go to the Drs. Has anyone felt this way before? and if so what do you think it was from? I know this is a very odd question and he should go to the Drs BUT...........

Cat,i dont like going to the Dr either.

A general exam,blood pressure,sugar etc might reveal whats going on.

Hopefully you can get him to get checked out.

Thank you Donna, he is stressing me out by refusing to go. Ugh

My grandfather was like that most of the time from the stash of wine bottles under his bed. However my grandmother started adding salt to each bottle and he improved very quickly.

It sounds to me like it might be a problem with his brain. Just guessing, of course.

Make him go to the doctor or bring a nurse to the house and find out before something else happens. It is a warning sign that should not be ignored.

What he said!she said!

I do not like going to the Doctor either. In his case, he really needs to go see what is going on.

Most men seem to have the annoying trait of not wanting to go to the Dr. My husband is the same way.

He needs to go to the Dr, My bf is the same way, he waits because he is scared but in your bf needs to go if he is having symptoms. Not sure what slurred speech could be coming from if it isn't from a stroke..

Excuuuuse me! Why do you not think we are doctors?? 

I am so offended!! 

[dreamyxo]

What is he afraid of?  Health is nothing to play with.  He needs to suck it up and go get checked out.

Check blood sugar for sure. Also, may have had a TIA (transient ischemic attack). It's could be a mini-stroke and it clears up usually within 24 hours but it's a warning. He needs to be checked out.

sorry to hear your story. I don't know ya got to go to the docs. I remember I couldnt afford going to the docs.

He needs to go to a doctor, the sooner the better.  I understand why you are stressing out.  Tell him he must go for your peace of mind.  I don't know what is going to work for him.
