Great article.
I had a stroke one night in my 20's. When I woke up, my right side was numb (I thought I just slept on my arm), I spoke gibberish and was unable to write but I felt fine and I thought I spoke perfectly fine.
I finally figured out that something was not right when I tried to write a message to my mom on the back of an envelope to tell her that I was fine and I just drew a straight line instead of letters.
That's when she called an ambulance.
Luckily I was back to normal within a month, but I struggled for some time to to find the right words when talking.
