What are some sure signs that someone has had a mini stroke?

aside from temporary loss of short term memory, and a confused state.

crooked tongue when you ask them to stick it out.
unable to process simple questions.
unable to raise arms above head.
Mini strokes are 100% reversible if caught in the first three hours after the onset.
Always err on the safe side and call 911.

Always tired and when in bed trouble sleeping.
Complaints of seeing spots in their vision.
Complaints of mild headaches after walking or mild exertion.
Slurred speach, keeps biting tounge.
When walking will drift to one side.
Leans to one side.
Weak grip with hands, pain in finger joints.
Hearing loss.
Always on "edge"
Cool skin on warm nights.
sweats on cool nights.

Sorry but to me there is no such thing as a mini-stroke. All strokes are major because it takes a little bit of you away.

I had a mini and yet am still suffering from it's effects seven years after it happened.

Usually clear completely without residual.
