Hi there just wondering if anyone out there has takayasu that can share their experience with the condion with me. I was diagnosed in Nov 24 with it but just a week or so of being diagnosed I took another bad stroke that has affected my sight. I've had at least 4 strokes within a year of my first one Jan 24. Any feedback would be so much appreciated. Thankyou x
