This article is too generalized. There many other chronic medical problems which consistently display these symptoms. i.e., neuro-degenerative diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc. If you are going to quote and write this type of article you need to qualify about other medical problems as noted above.

Good in theory, however most medical personnel don't take a woman's complaints seriously. Strokes are very common for women in my family, yet the above symptoms were dismissed by various doctors, as the women were "too young" to have a stroke.
