Hearing others speak of my deficits normalizes things for me and encourages me to keep pushing myself toward recovery. I definitely "catastrophise" things when I should just chill out.
Your awareness of how you do yourself is gaining momentum. That is a great outcome.
I love the book. I'm already to page 100 after 2 days. It's easy to read. As a former OB/Gyn, I knew that there were certain women who we would not prescribe birth control pills to because they were hyper-coagulable due to this gene mutation. It also caused high rates of pregnancy loss. I personally know of at least 2 women who've suffered strokes in their 30's. You've inspired my own stroke recovery. Thank you!
I have interviewed lots of women who were on birth control when they had a stroke and were under the age of 35. I feel like there would be many GP's and some OB/Gyn's who wouldn't know about the connection of the MTHFR gene mutation and thicker blood and as a result, some women shouldn't be prescribed birth control.
@@BillGasiamis factor V Leiden deficiency is not that common and we don't routinely test for it unless something happens first. I didn't unless I had a reason to, but American medicine doesn't advocate for routine testing, because our insurance companies don't feel it's a cost effective thing to test for, because private insurance companies won't be the ones paying for extended stroke related disability pay.
@@doknbox I understand what you are saying, factor v Leiden the same condition?
@@BillGasiamis,I believe they are the same. Taking estrogen raises the risk of clots, which is why pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone replacement raise the risk of stroke. They don't recommend stopping birth control pills after 35 in nonsmokers. I went back and played my very first stroke video from 2021. I mentioned back then. You got me started on my road to recovery. Thank you. I reposted the video.

I actually showed your book on my RUclips channel. That delay in her care may have cost her a chance to reverse the stroke by using TPA which dissolves clots and reverses strokes
Thanks for the support.
