I get minor strokes every couple of months.
Each time I lose feeling in right side of body, and lose the ability to write. Not 100%, but close enough. Typing is fine however, if slow. Critical thinking goes to crap. Talking is fine. I can still draw, though my motivation goes to crap.
Is weird what stays and what goes.
Last time I looked writing is a left brain activity. Which controls right side.
- anaphor 6y agoUsually the right hemisphere is linked with comprehending speech/writing, rather than producing it, so it's interesting that you lose the ability to write. Is your speech affected at all? It could be because writing involves a bunch of other more domain-general brain functions too I guess.
- ianhanschen 6y agoI think he's talking about motor control - how the left hemisphere is responsible for controlling the right side of the body and vice versa.
- nullserver 6y agoCorrect. Right side body is numb, cold and weak. So I assume issue is left side of brain. I can read and speak well enough. Thinking is harder, so I tend to stay quiet.
