I have been stroked too like your s but since your left side been affected or paralyzed it means your right side brain has may spot damage but don't u worry Cuz. recovery may come after few months or years, unlike opposit side may be needed long terms of recovery. For my experienced otherwise was only 6 months to one year recovery period, now I am fine very fine after a series of several therapies during months of massage 'till now...!
I have had 7 strokes I'm still walking and talking I was very strong before my first I'm still strong. I just have no balance so I use a walker. I live at home alone and keep my home clean, cook my meals, and exercise. I also have an amazing healing factor. i've been a Diabetic for 21 years i heal like I'm not a diabetic at all, and have no signs of neuropathy. I consider myself blessed by God.
6:08 I had a stroke and ended up with left arm and hand paralyzed not getting any better after 6months thank God I'm still alive but don't want to live the rest of my life like this
@@debraoldham5927 I AGREE!!!!!!I'M all paralyzed and I have no desire to live like this. But when I say anything like that I'm a horrible personF*** it!!!!!!!!!! I am totally ok with being dead at this point
I have been with brain stroke all most 4 years, under of treatment by the Doctor whom treated me was very shock the way I get recover and moving. I have to go and see him after six months. I am still in pain expecially on the right side. By faith God did miracle in my life. I know the way I have been suffered and the way I am today.
God's mercy nano-medication that's based on God created man out of an extract of clay from ground cures central pontine hemorrhagic stroke as well as SAH (subarachnoid hemorrhage) patients already. Taiwan's medical society is more than shocked. All glory belongs to God !
I had a massive debilitating stroke in 2021 and after a year and a half of intensive rehabilitation I still am left with disabilities and was told they are permanent. I don't believe that. Zi believe God will heal me. I can eat and speak now and I continue to exercose daily hoping to fully recover. It is hard. Some days, I feel discouraged specially when I don't get so much support anymore coz it has been 3 years and my improvements are very very slow. I continue to be the coach of my life and keep motivating myself and believing in God’s power to prrform miracles. Please pray for me.
I'm hoping to use information here to heal my grandmother. Her stroke was in a bad spot, basal ganglia. The hospital denied she ever had a stroke under their care and diagnosed her with dementia. During a later visit a brain scan showed i was right and she did have a stroke. Grandma lives with my wife and i and requires round the clock care. We have to feed her and change her diapers and clean her, ect.. she alsobhas ESRD and CHF so saving her is not possible, she just turned 84 in February 😢. Im hoping to buy her a little more time and maybe get some quality of life back via brain recovery. Please pray for my grandmother and our family. Her name is Virginia and she is very loved. Tha k you for this video, i subscribed to your channel.
Dear Cole, Thank you for sharing your story. Certainly, prayers coming your way to sustain you and your wife and your beloved Virginia. She is so blessed to have your love and care.
God bless you and your wife for your kindness and love for ypur grandmother. I will be praying for her and wil pass the prayer request to our prayer team. I also had a stroke in 2021 but I'm only 57 years ild but it left me withdisabilities. I am also blessed to have a loving family, my sons and my husband. Despite a year of intensive rehabilitation in a rehab center, I have not cemetery recovered but I'm just happy and thankful to God that I still have my cognitive abilities intact and was able to recover eating and speaking abilities after intensive training. I remain positive, gratefuland full of faith that I will still fully recover. That's why I understand your challenges but also fully appreciate your love and sacrifice. I took care of my grandmother and grandparents who Also suffered stroke. God bless you in your endeavors and that God will give ypu the ability to create wealth to cover not just your daily expenses but to find newer medical treatments for stroke. God bless you, grandma and your wife
I'm the sole provider for my husband. My husband had a massive stroke. He is a combat veteran and I'm a veteran. I will not leave my husband. Thank you so much for sharing this informative video. God bless. 🙏
God bless this doctor, your husband and my younger sister. My younger sister just got a Stroke recently and she can't move her right arm and right leg anymore. I hope she could recover
Dear Creative. How are you doing, and how is your husband coming along? The Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences is doing some great things with their research to help Service Members and Veterans. Make sure that you get yourself fully engaged with the VA to be able to know about new treatments and strategies that have been shown to be helpful. Be sure to encourage others; we all need to hear that somebody's thinking about us.
@@lenmatheson My husband has his bad and good days. I would trade places in a heartbeat. We have been married for 27 years. Thanks for your kindness. Please keep us in your prayers.🙏 ❤
First, my thanks to you and your husband for your service to our country. And secondly thank you for staying by his side. I had an Ischemic Stroke on Xmas day 2022, and am in recovery. It's very hard and sometimes I get lonely and want to give up. Instead I keep pushing and exercising even though I'm not seeing any progress right now. Let him know that he is not alone, we are in this together. And never give up.
I had an ischaemic stroke around dec 2023. Watching your video gives me confidence and the ability to to recover fully. I did stutter a few words and my handwriting and vision were affected initially but I can see improvements. Trying to get back to normal and change the way I view things a little, becoming a an even better person. Thank you for inspiring me❤
My husband,49yrs had stroke due to brain TB 6 yrs ago.he had right side paralaysed .right hand,right leg,left leg,hearing,talking etc to be healed totally..i believe in Christ since7 yrs.he hadn't belief in Jesus yet.i wish he had recovered soon spiritually and physically in Jesus name Amen
Do not give up hope..there are endless possibilities therefore we must not limit our beliefs because we are told that recovery is limited. We have the power to create our own realities. I understand that stroke is a condition that is so difficult. I know because i have a friend who confides in me. The reason why i stumble across this video is because i have been gathering information about stroke recovery. Be there to support my friend in is recovery and to always remind him not to give up. If you need someone to talk to, you can contact me.
Dear Analiza; what a beautiful name! Yes, there is always hope and I hope that you keep looking for it. Please get back in touch and let us know how you're doing.

Please drink 1 tsp. of moringa powder for 1 week then 2 tsp. after 2nd weeks or more for complete basic nutrients in your body and cleaned the arteries together with morning or noontime sunshine for at least 30 minutes of vitamin d3 and keep walking that is the only effective way proven natural solution for stroke patients and diabetes ( NOTHING ELSE ) including cancer and can reverse these kind of diseases and cure 300 kinds of illnesses and it was already a scientific study since ancient times and that is your lifetime natural maintenance daily and it will take time to cleaned all the blood vessel in our body. IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PLEASE HELP AND HEAL US.
3 month anniversary coming up on my stroke, brain fog is the worst and some cognitive issues, I read it and make mistakes, I was always known for attention to detail and now, it can be frustrating I didn't read the direction correct. God's been with me all the way on this
@@carmella88 I didn’t think it was severe actually thought it was a TIA, because it was only my speech- I couldn’t say certain words and it made my BP go really high (not normal). However when I was looking at the MRI and told it was a perfect bullseye on speech I got the impression it was more serious than I thought.
just had a stroke a month, ago the funny thing is that im a physical therapist worked w/ many stroke pts through the years at least ican walk some even w/ o cane& my speech memory & cognition are intact this is avery challenging condition especially cfor someone who loves outdoors & adventures what gives me hope is my fiance who continues to support me showing kindness & understanding
Dear JJ, Thank you for your comment. Please join the conversation below and encourage others with "just right challenges", especially when they can share those with other people. As I mention below and in my book, our brains were designed for relationships. Our brains actually perform much better when we share activities with each other; neuroplasticity is stimulated and recovery is accelerated. So, keep up the good work and be sure that you're doing as much as you can to participate with others! Dr. Matheson

I found your video just as I was losing hope, I did however find Jesus after my stroke, with is very good, God is good always, He uses bad things for the good ❤️
Thank you for this video. I got a stroke two years ago, paralysing my left side. I can still speak, read and write, which I am incredibly thankful for. I see in your video that the family is very important for the stroke rehab. Unfortunately my wife left me after I got the stroke, I am an only child and both my parents are gone. So I am pretty alone...And I am not particularly christian. I tend to 'stumble over' old pictures and other memories from my life, which tend to make me sad and worried hate I'll never get back that life. I have had some progress the last two years, but am still FAR away from where I want to be. I can clench my left hand with some strength, but still can't extend the fingers. This makes me very nervous, as without extension, I can't really open my hand to grab anything... I am trying anything... I used to be a film maker and musician, playing guitar, drums and piano, anodising and write songs.In addition to this, I had bought a farm inSweden, was renovating this and had just started to grow vegetables. I am so afraid I will never be able to get back to that life again. I also wrote very fast with both hands and the touch system. What I am writing now is done with some fingers on my right hand... I lived in Sweden when I got the stroke, and at the hospital there I met a man who was very religious/ christian and that wanted to pray for me, and I said 'sure'. At the time I had a lot of pain in the shoulder due to it being subluxated. I of course was also paralysed in my left side, but he chose to focus mostly on the pain, commanding and demanding from Jesus that he take away my pain, etc. Now, two years later the pain is so to say completely gone with only a hint now and then when I try to lift the arm. I just thought that maybe his prayer had an effect...? At least on the pain in that case, but unfortunately not much on the functionality. but due to the pain being virtually gone, I have started to consider going to a church of some sorts here in Oslo, Norway, where i live now and ask someone there to pray for me... what do you think...?
Harald Sandø I've had two strokes.. And going to church is your best option... feeling like you do is normal because of the stroke.. It's really depressing to adjust to your new life.. I had no choice but accept Jesus in my life.. Faith works wonders... You can mail me if you would like to talk some more.. Your case is a bit more difficult cos you have no moral support.. From what I gathered in your comment.. But going to church.. is a very good option.. it means you get to socialize more.. we can also start a pen-pal friendship.lol.. my email is jansenjasmiena@gmail.com
Harald Sandø ur strory almost same like mine. Im in New York. Im stroke 7 months ago. 2 months ago my hub left me. My post stroke is no good. I live alone in this country. Nobody else unless my kids.
I understand, Harald. We have a lot in common. Most of my family has passed on and having someone to love you is so very important to recover. Please let me know if you want to chat.
My grandmother had massive stroke Sunday morning while she was in covid unit. We were not able to see her so when I called them 5 am to check up on her they pretended like she had the stroke 15 minutes before I called what a lie then immediately went to the hospital and demand to get out of the covid unit so why did the doctor in the covid unit decided to put my grandmother in comfort care and told us she is 92 and she will die less than an hour after 4 days she still fighting and I refuse to put her in comfort care so since Wednesday she started getting treatment like IV fluid and antibiotic. She is getting CT scan and MRI done today. I will not give up on my grandmother and I will fight for her until she comes out of coma
How is your grandmother.. 5 days ago my grandma also had a stroke... she is not speaking and eating anything. Her right side is not working.. her heart is so weak..
Hello Anthony! It's good to hear from you. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Let's both do what we can to keep encouraging others to pick themselves up off the floor and move forward into a brighter tomorrow. Please keep me posted and let me know if your progress.
Thank you, Lavina. I'm glad that you found it informative. Are there other videos on the Faithful Brain Counseling channel that are helpful to you in your volunteer work?
I am very thankful for this video! I felt like you were telling my story, because I believe I will recover! And I am recovering very successfully. 1year and 8month ago I had a severe brain injury. Sharp, 10cm long icepick went into my brain. My whole right side of my body was completely paralyzed and numb! Speech was also gone... since then I am recovering very good, despite what doctors told me. Even after doctors kept telling me i still believed i will recover, and I am, thanks Allah(God), my mom, my therapists! And thank YOU doctor for this wonderful video! I wish you the best!
Dear Kasianov. Wow! Your story reminds me of the young man I call "Peter" in chapter 1 of my book who got stabbed in the right brain during a gang fight at age 15. I'm glad that you have a strong faith and encourage you to continue working on that. Praise be to God for your recovery!
You won't get full recovery without Allah (God) mercy. Allah created man from an extract of clay. ================================= I can tell you for sure that if your endogenous adult stem cells can't be triggered for regeneration, you won't get full recovery. This video can't do anything for endogenous adult stem cells. Stem cell therapy is to help those endogenous adult stem cells to clear away inhibitory molecules so that its regenerative potentials can be triggered for regeneration. What's definition of ' an extract of clay '? Without Allah (God) guidance, nobody knows. Nano-medication is based on an extract of clay. During past five decades, USA, Russia, France and Germany have made great efforts to unravel an extract of clay for nano-medication unsuccessfully. Your therapists are nothing, compared to Allah (God). Only nano-medication can help you get cured.
I had a stroke during covid and my family abandoned me in the hospital and i never received physical therapy because everything shut down my left side is paralyzed and was shoved in a nursing home
this is fantastic, im recovering from an ischemic stroke....and my faith is strong, im doing my own rehab via neuroplasticity...but, i m disapponted in the tone that this sort of thing is something to be undertaken for folks like me, who now, due to the stroke, not having an income, nor being able to get any sort of disability.....i have to go back to work, drive a car a fair distance, and try to work in my old job in the financial world. and it takes a lotta brain power to do it, im not too happy about having to go back so early....other than that...this is inspirational....thank you.
Hello Frank, thanks for writing in. I'm delighted that you found this video helpful. In addition to my book and the book by Jill Taylor, take a look at The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. I recommend all three of our books as helpful. You say that your faith is strong; I'm delighted to hear that and I want to be sure that you are participating in a faith community of some sort. As you have heard me say, our relationships are crucial for healthy brain development. This is doubly so for your stroke recovery. So, participate in church or synagogue or temple or mosque; anywhere that you can find people who have an active spiritual life. I'm convinced that spirituality is a crucial aid to recovery. I'm a Christian, but I find that any sincere spirituality in which one is seeking a higher purpose and trying to fit their stroke experience within a larger reality is helpful.
Hello Frank, thanks for writing. I'm glad that you are on the road to recovery and I want to do what I can do encourage you. Remember that you have ADA protections available to you that can help you transition at work gradually up to your preinjury level of work demands. It takes time and patience, but working with a good doctor and therapist really can get you back to where you want to be. Keep this in mind: Recovery is not a straight line trajectory, it's a corkscrew. Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down, but if you look back over the past few weeks and months, you'll notice that today's down is probably higher than your earlier ups. I hope that makes sense to you. Please keep us posted.
Joelle, I've been paralyzed on the left side. Was wondering if there was a way to contact. Would like to hear how recovery on left side has been going. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video ...AMEN!!! That you sir is a science major that believes and have faith in GOD and the scriptures. I am a Stroke Survivor :) Still getting well ...
@@faithfulbraincounseling545 yes, I will share sir :) if you know how GOD's HANDS worked on my stroke, your FAITH would be much stronger than before. GOD bless you and your mission to help stroke patients like me :)
Deat Inday, you're very welcome! Can you give all of us an update about how you're doing? I hope that you're still getting well and would really appreciate an update from you.
Had a stroke 29th May 2018, still no use on my left side, in U.K, Staff at Winchester hospital, Twyford ward were mmostly amazing, speech unaffected fortunately.
God bless you and good luck! I had my stroke in August, 2018. I'm still working hard to recover ( I have spasticity on my affected side). I could not move my right hand or fingers at all for over a month after my stroke. One day, I moved and focused on my fingers, with the help of my good hand non stop for hours. It started to get sore lol, but I kid you not, after doing so I could suddenly twitch two of my fingers a tiny bit and it got better with time from there. I still have a lot of work to do, but it is improving and keep trying. Although I don't know how it will get better, I continue to have faith that it will get better and it is. It's slow and I have some really bad days, but it is getting better. Hang in their!
Don't give up I'm 19 and had a stroke 2 months ago my left side was paralyzed now I can walk and move my left arm a little but I'm not giving up and you shouldn't either God bless 🙏
Dear Jan, thank you for writing. As you can see, you have several people who are interested in your progress. Rehabilitation is the hardest thing that anybody ever has to do, but it is so worth it! Keep up the good work!
I had 2 strokes early October an 3rd one getting to the hospital. I see a neurologist an primary doctor. Never Ben sick before always Ben o good health. Ben eating good following doctors orders. Now I get real bad headaches it brings me to tears..pain pills don't help anymore an I tell them but they say it's just in my head..what can I do when doctors already kick me to the curb..they say I just need it too let heal by itself,. An my vision is fading with the pain. I.ve done Brain waves an M.R.I. an he says everything is fine. But what causes the bad headaches that makes me cry. Can't sleep at night..not go to the store cuz the lights an ppl. Talking bothers my head.🤧. What's wrong. Neurologist say I have 2 black spots in back of my head which brains cell are dead.. i.m a miracle..i.m alive. God wouldn't let death take me. I thank him every day.🙏⛪. Help me..please.🙏
Dear Aurora, there are many things that cause severe headaches after a stroke or brain injury. Don't give up on your doctors because they are often as frustrated as you are and they actually like challenges as long as their patients are willing to persevere. Be sure that you are giving yourself "just-right challenges", pushing yourself a little bit, but not too far. You need to be careful about properly stimulating yourself, so talk to your doctor and therapists about how much is just enough and how much is too much. Please keep us posted.
Im new on here but my husband recently had a stroke but he was getting them same headaches he couldn't sleep at all but this been going on for years.Doctors say it because his bp is high.i dont know im new to all this .I just my husband and everyone who suffered for a stroke dont never give up.

Doctor What are the Treatments for Breathe Properly after Stroke. Which Medical treatment Test Needs to Check ☒ Lungs and Heart. Is there Need Chest Therapy For This. Thank U Doctor. How These Stroke Patients Live Long Life as Usual. 💐🌹💐
I'm the sole caregiver for my wife who had her stroke almost 2 yrs ago in 2019. I know this is a old video but still gives us hope after watching. She had her barrage of in patient/outpatient therapy for 2 - 4 week periods. Home exercises were ending up in arguments and frustrations, so tapered off. After watching this I have 2 questions: *You mention 'neurons are damaged by stress chemicals', what causes the stress chemicals? (is this a Captain Obvious question?) *After 2 years following the stroke- how applicable is this 'brain retraining' to use good neurons in the brain? Good video, thanks
Dear Tim, Thank you for your patience; I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I've just been swamped as I start seeing people again after they get vaccinated. In response to your first question, the stress chemical of concern is cortisol, a key part of our homeostasis. Cortisol helps to prepare us for challenges, peaking an hour or two before we awaken and gradually tapering off over the course of the day. However, as we experience stressors throughout the day, more cortisol is produced and released. Our brains are designed to handle the ebb and flow of cortisol, but not a constantly high level, which stunts the synaptogenesis process. Synapses are continually growing from the neuron cell body to reach out and connect with other neurons to promote learning and adaptation and change. Constant high levels of cortisol trim the new synapses, limiting the ability of neurons to connect. This is why it is so important to include things like exercise and prayer or meditation in our daily lives, as well as focus on preparing for bed in the evening so that the residuals from a stressful day don't impair restorative sleep. In response to your second question, the neurophysiology of mammal brains supports this process at any time in life; the younger the better but you're never too old. Time since the stroke probably doesn't make a difference, but there is not a definitive study because we typically rely on Therapists to provide treatment, limited by their need to get paid. If you take a look at the experience of Jill Bolte-Taylor, her mother's ongoing involvement supplemented by many friends and family and her own knowledgeable determination to persist is what brought her all the way back from a catastrophic stroke. It's only one case, but if you talk to any older rehab providers, we all know of others. The scientific research on this approach to stroke rehabilitation is continuing, albeit at a slow pace. Each of the studies that has come along in the last several years points to a modest but significant positive effect; this approach actually works. The primary problem in the efficacy of this approach is that it takes a lot of time and repetition. If families can't pick up what Therapists can't get authorization to provide, this approach is not going to be very effective. Throughout my 50+ years of practice, I have always demanded that families get involved. To accomplish this, I invite them onto the team and provide education and help them to develop a "can-do" attitude about home-based and community-based rehabilitation. After the initial workup and development and implementation of a therapy plan, I encourage Therapists to become coaches to the family rather than to continue to be the primary rehabbers. Whenever this happens, the involvement of families makes the rehabilitation experience much more successful. So, to sum up. What I want my children and grandchildren to do when I suffer my stroke is to get very involved with the OT's and PT's to learn how to carry forward their plans after insurance will no longer support their active involvement. Most of my rehabilitation will take place after discharge from formal care both at home and in a public gym with my family educating the personal trainer who works with older folks on how to use appropriate conditioning equipment three or four days a week one hour to two hours at a time. I'll do my best to have good sleep and proper nutrition and I'll give it a long recovery trajectory with the confidence that this is the best approach and it is going to pay off. I'll have follow-up appointments with my Doc and the OT's and PT's every three or four months to show them how well I'm doing and encourage them to bring about an attitudinal shift; just like I'm trying to do with you right now. Tim, I hope this is helpful for you and your wife; there's a lot left to live for! Your brain was designed for so much more! Len
@@faithfulbraincounseling545 Thank you for the well documented detailed response. Reading through it actually solidify s some past observations I've had. Pre Wife's stroke I was in a high tech career in a position of solving complex problems and one of the go-to members of the team for answers. For past 2 years I find myself in a caregiver setting where nothing makes sense and I have no answers for someone I care for deeply. I suspect my observation that I sometimes feel myself loosing ability in thinking was due to relating to my wife may actually be to Cortisol created by the stress of this unknown situation. Which is why I've been trying to self educate myself. FYI-I checked your site URL you included at the end of your video and received - domain is for sale. Thanks for the response.
This post has been so useful and helpful as we are dealing with a friend who has had a fall and has to pay for medical expenses, but the family are unable to afford the operation at a cost of £8500 so now looking for a natural alternative And the story has been so inspiring, especially the faith part. Thank you so much. 🙏😇

I’m in a nursing home and I cannot control the food that I eat, which is very very very sad and this food is not for gaining one’s health back. There is no dietitian either.
Hi soc.I'm 73yr old.I fell and hurt my head and neurogist said that I had a mild stroke. Had an Mri and ct scan. I was very active before that .Drive ,cook,do washing and do household chores. Now my memory is not that good.Cannot remember some of the things ,names etc.Had to give up driving. I had some physio and do some exercises. Rest when I'm tired.Please help as to what I should.I'm on Keppra meds. Thanks from South Africa
I have cerebellum ataxia, as a result of crainiotomy surgery. I relate to what this woman discusses, I experience on a daily. Vision issues, hearing issues, coordination n balance issues.
ThAnk you for the hopeful message my grandmother had a stroke bleeding and just happen few days ago and a lot of negatively in the family but I know she will pull through she is such a strong person and was very healthy before this happen this video confirmed my hope also she got to the hospital as it was happening also the stop the bleeding quickly so that's my hope she can pull through thank you so much for your ministry may God bless you all the days of your life
Im brain AVM SURVIVOR AND STROKE SURVIVOR FOR 9 YEARS NOW THIS JULY 2021. THANKS FOR THIS ENCOURAGING VIDEO. THERE'S HOPE AFTER STROKE. WAITING FOR MORE VIDEOS. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE.
Some people cannot be in charge of anything. Not everyone has control over their own lives or living situation. Also, worth mentioning that the very changes due to stroke stops them from doing all the exercise and getting sleep. It is a catch-22.
Stroke is deadly any way live or not the ability of not walking standing alone no sleep no life atall no money to all this expenses that come with Stroke
I am a stroke survivor of right sided affecting left side.Had my stroke 1 year now and am struggling with frustration but is very determined to overcome,weaknesses and head pain. Am truly happy to come across this video and hoping there is many more information that can help me to recovery. Many Thanks
Thanks for your encouragement! I'm delighted that the video was helpful; I find that people who follow these guidelines continue to improve. Patience and faith are crucial!
Thank you for this. It is so very interesting. I am reading Jill Taylor's book and I plan to read yours. I'm a hemorrhagic and an ischemic stroke survivor. My main problem now is the post stroke seizures. But I keep plugging along!
Dear Eileen, great to hear from you. Thank you for writing. Seizures are a temporary problem, but it takes a lot of patience to dial-in the medications. What sorts of goals do you have for your recovery? What do you plan to do in the future? I encourage you to set some "just-right challenges" for yourself and be sure to communicate them with the people who are helping you put your life back together. Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
Thank you so much and please read my story everybody and please let them know that when I touch my left side it makes my right hand paralyzed hand move around and I have a gut feeling after 14 years that a nerve is pinched in my right in my left shoulder that could be broken off or cut that will make my right paralyzed can work my whole arm works on my right side but just it from the wrist down it makes the cyst and opens a little God bless all of you
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I am surprised as well. If any of you dislike this video, please tell me how it can be improved. We are all in this together. If you live long enough, you or someone you love will experience a brain injury or stroke. As I try to describe in the video, the love of God and your family and friends will make a big difference in your recovery. And, as you recover, you can encourage others. Please post your story here as you make progress.

Thank you so much Dr Igudia for your treatment and your consultations. I’m forever grateful to you. You’ve been such a kind and caring doctor for me during my hard time of herpes virus. Thank you for doing everything that you do and helping me during a hard time. I’ll definitely spread this to the whole world.

Love a fod that allowed this to happen and k ow it was happen and any progress people make is credited to god but god does not take any of the downfall, which he caused, you can have your god and keep him away from me
You had me until you mentioned god, Your almighty god allowed this to happen since he knows everything and he has a plan for you, it is such nonsense, science and hard work that are causing people to recover

Yes stroke rehab wont happen at all if left to the lazy staff of most rehab facilities. Family MUST become actively involved. Or there will be little improvement. If you love the stroke victim, show up dailey and remind the staff that you are activly overseeing your family members' care and NO subpar care will be tolerated.
I was finding this interesting until the god content, then I had to stop. I’m no Christian but if I were, having a stroke would surely put an end to that.
@@calabriagirl4202 You claim that your god is omnipotent. Why are these things allowed to happen. Either your god is not omnipotent or just plain vengeful. Either way, as a stroke victim I would become a heretic.
Dear Leviathon2, Yes, that's what a lot of people anticipate, but it happens much less often than you would expect. In fact, the turning to God that people do when they get blindsided by catastrophes like a stroke helped me to reconsider my atheism in the early years of my career. Danny Munday, a 14-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy who needed to sleep on a respirator got me started reconsidering my stance against God. In fact, I wasn't just an atheist, I was an anti-theist. It took me a few years of being in the trenches with severely traumatized adolescents before I started to use my scientific mind and training to consider the possibility that faith in God is an important rehab resource. The research actually demonstrates that fact; faith in a loving God makes a scientifically-measurable difference. You might want to get Francis Collins's book on his experience to explore this further. He is the director of the National Institutes of Health, a few years younger than me who went through a similar early career experience that gradually led him to start his faith journey. Meantime, thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts. They good care. Len
I had my first stroke seven years ago my family were told I'd never walk or use my left side. I wobble a little but walk unassisted and I kept telling myself open close to use my hand don't give up retrain your brain
Schemic victim then why my doctorthe clot buster medicine Ivan pay for the medicine but my doc don't even ask me about it my doctor sucks my money even asking for fee not yet done I came to hospital walking when I check out iwss sitting on a wheel chair don't give me
I was 34yrs old my name is jashmi5months before I was affected by stroke and my left side was fully paralyzed kindly pray for my recovery
🙏
How are you now?
Trust the Lord
I have been stroked too like your s but since your left side been affected or paralyzed it means your right side brain has may spot damage but don't u worry Cuz. recovery may come after few months or years, unlike opposit side may be needed long terms of recovery. For my experienced otherwise was only 6 months to one year recovery period, now I am fine very fine after a series of several therapies during months of massage 'till now...!
Praying for you bro
I have had 7 strokes I'm still walking and talking I was very strong before my first I'm still strong. I just have no balance so I use a walker. I live at home alone and keep my home clean, cook my meals, and exercise. I also have an amazing healing factor. i've been a Diabetic for 21 years i heal like I'm not a diabetic at all, and have no signs of neuropathy. I consider myself blessed by God.

I have been with brain stroke all most 4 years, under of treatment by the Doctor whom treated me was very shock the way I get recover and moving. I have to go and see him after six months. I am still in pain expecially on the right side. By faith God did miracle in my life. I know the way I have been suffered and the way I am today.
I received healing prayer recently and feel my recovery has improved ❤

All glory belongs to God !
I have faith in God
I had a massive debilitating stroke in 2021 and after a year and a half of intensive rehabilitation I still am left with disabilities and was told they are permanent. I don't believe that. Zi believe God will heal me. I can eat and speak now and I continue to exercose daily hoping to fully recover. It is hard. Some days, I feel discouraged specially when I don't get so much support anymore coz it has been 3 years and my improvements are very very slow. I continue to be the coach of my life and keep motivating myself and believing in God’s power to prrform miracles. Please pray for me.
Amin

Good video. My mom just recently had a stroke and I’d do anything to make sure she doesn’t have another one
I'm hoping to use information here to heal my grandmother. Her stroke was in a bad spot, basal ganglia. The hospital denied she ever had a stroke under their care and diagnosed her with dementia. During a later visit a brain scan showed i was right and she did have a stroke. Grandma lives with my wife and i and requires round the clock care. We have to feed her and change her diapers and clean her, ect.. she alsobhas ESRD and CHF so saving her is not possible, she just turned 84 in February 😢. Im hoping to buy her a little more time and maybe get some quality of life back via brain recovery. Please pray for my grandmother and our family. Her name is Virginia and she is very loved. Tha k you for this video, i subscribed to your channel.
Dear Cole, Thank you for sharing your story. Certainly, prayers coming your way to sustain you and your wife and your beloved Virginia. She is so blessed to have your love and care.
God bless you and your wife for your kindness and love for ypur grandmother. I will be praying for her and wil pass the prayer request to our prayer team. I also had a stroke in 2021 but I'm only 57 years ild but it left me withdisabilities. I am also blessed to have a loving family, my sons and my husband. Despite a year of intensive rehabilitation in a rehab center, I have not cemetery recovered but I'm just happy and thankful to God that I still have my cognitive abilities intact and was able to recover eating and speaking abilities after intensive training. I remain positive, gratefuland full of faith that I will still fully recover. That's why I understand your challenges but also fully appreciate your love and sacrifice. I took care of my grandmother and grandparents who Also suffered stroke. God bless you in your endeavors and that God will give ypu the ability to create wealth to cover not just your daily expenses but to find newer medical treatments for stroke. God bless you, grandma and your wife

Dear Creative. How are you doing, and how is your husband coming along? The Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences is doing some great things with their research to help Service Members and Veterans. Make sure that you get yourself fully engaged with the VA to be able to know about new treatments and strategies that have been shown to be helpful. Be sure to encourage others; we all need to hear that somebody's thinking about us.

First, my thanks to you and your husband for your service to our country. And secondly thank you for staying by his side. I had an Ischemic Stroke on Xmas day 2022, and am in recovery. It's very hard and sometimes I get lonely and want to give up. Instead I keep pushing and exercising even though I'm not seeing any progress right now. Let him know that he is not alone, we are in this together. And never give up.

I am stroke patient. And I am glad you told us there is still hope. thank you.
Do not give up hope..there are endless possibilities therefore we must not limit our beliefs because we are told that recovery is limited. We have the power to create our own realities. I understand that stroke is a condition that is so difficult. I know because i have a friend who confides in me. The reason why i stumble across this video is because i have been gathering information about stroke recovery. Be there to support my friend in is recovery and to always remind him not to give up. If you need someone to talk to, you can contact me.
Dear Analiza; what a beautiful name! Yes, there is always hope and I hope that you keep looking for it. Please get back in touch and let us know how you're doing.

How severe was your stroke
@@carmella88 I didn’t think it was severe actually thought it was a TIA, because it was only my speech- I couldn’t say certain words and it made my BP go really high (not normal). However when I was looking at the MRI and told it was a perfect bullseye on speech I got the impression it was more serious than I thought.
I'm a stroke patient and I am inspired with this video, now I am positive that I can fully recover and to have a normal life.

Dear JJ,
Thank you for your comment. Please join the conversation below and encourage others with "just right challenges", especially when they can share those with other people. As I mention below and in my book, our brains were designed for relationships. Our brains actually perform much better when we share activities with each other; neuroplasticity is stimulated and recovery is accelerated. So, keep up the good work and be sure that you're doing as much as you can to participate with others! Dr. Matheson

Praying for you
I found your video just as I was losing hope, I did however find Jesus after my stroke, with is very good, God is good always, He uses bad things for the good ❤️
Thank you for this video. I got a stroke two years ago, paralysing my left side. I can still speak, read and write, which I am incredibly thankful for.
I see in your video that the family is very important for the stroke rehab. Unfortunately my wife left me after I got the stroke, I am an only child and both my parents are gone. So I am pretty alone...And I am not particularly christian. I tend to 'stumble over' old pictures and other memories from my life, which tend to make me sad and worried hate I'll never get back that life. I have had some progress the last two years, but am still FAR away from where I want to be. I can clench my left hand with some strength, but still can't extend the fingers. This makes me very nervous, as without extension, I can't really open my hand to grab anything... I am trying anything... I used to be a film maker and musician, playing guitar, drums and piano, anodising and write songs.In addition to this, I had bought a farm inSweden, was renovating this and had just started to grow vegetables. I am so afraid I will never be able to get back to that life again. I also wrote very fast with both hands and the touch system. What I am writing now is done with some fingers on my right hand...
I lived in Sweden when I got the stroke, and at the hospital there I met a man who was very religious/ christian and that wanted to pray for me, and I said 'sure'. At the time I had a lot of pain in the shoulder due to it being subluxated. I of course was also paralysed in my left side, but he chose to focus mostly on the pain, commanding and demanding from Jesus that he take away my pain, etc.
Now, two years later the pain is so to say completely gone with only a hint now and then when I try to lift the arm. I just thought that maybe his prayer had an effect...? At least on the pain in that case, but unfortunately not much on the functionality. but due to the pain being virtually gone, I have started to consider going to a church of some sorts here in Oslo, Norway, where i live now and ask someone there to pray for me... what do you think...?
Harald Sandø
I've had two strokes.. And going to church is your best option... feeling like you do is normal because of the stroke.. It's really depressing to adjust to your new life..
I had no choice but accept Jesus in my life.. Faith works wonders... You can mail me if you would like to talk some more..
Your case is a bit more difficult cos you have no moral support.. From what I gathered in your comment.. But going to church.. is a very good option.. it means you get to socialize more.. we can also start a pen-pal friendship.lol.. my email is jansenjasmiena@gmail.com
Harald Sandø ur strory almost same like mine. Im in New York. Im stroke 7 months ago. 2 months ago my hub left me. My post stroke is no good. I live alone in this country. Nobody else unless my kids.
Harald Sandø I already prayed for you.

I understand, Harald. We have a lot in common. Most of my family has passed on and having someone to love you is so very important to recover. Please let me know if you want to chat.
My grandmother had massive stroke Sunday morning while she was in covid unit. We were not able to see her so when I called them 5 am to check up on her they pretended like she had the stroke 15 minutes before I called what a lie then immediately went to the hospital and demand to get out of the covid unit so why did the doctor in the covid unit decided to put my grandmother in comfort care and told us she is 92 and she will die less than an hour after 4 days she still fighting and I refuse to put her in comfort care so since Wednesday she started getting treatment like IV fluid and antibiotic. She is getting CT scan and MRI done today. I will not give up on my grandmother and I will fight for her until she comes out of coma
How is your grandmother.. 5 days ago my grandma also had a stroke... she is not speaking and eating anything. Her right side is not working.. her heart is so weak..

Sharp, 10cm long icepick went into my brain. My whole right side of my body was completely paralyzed and numb! Speech was also gone... since then I am recovering very good, despite what doctors told me. Even after doctors kept telling me i still believed i will recover, and I am, thanks Allah(God), my mom, my therapists! And thank YOU doctor for this wonderful video! I wish you the best!

Dear Kasianov. Wow! Your story reminds me of the young man I call "Peter" in chapter 1 of my book who got stabbed in the right brain during a gang fight at age 15. I'm glad that you have a strong faith and encourage you to continue working on that. Praise be to God for your recovery!
You won't get full recovery without Allah (God) mercy.
Allah created man from an extract of clay.
=================================
I can tell you for sure that if your endogenous adult stem cells can't be triggered for
regeneration, you won't get full recovery.
This video can't do anything for endogenous adult stem cells.
Stem cell therapy is to help those endogenous adult stem cells to clear away
inhibitory molecules so that its regenerative potentials can be triggered for
regeneration.
What's definition of ' an extract of clay '? Without Allah (God) guidance,
nobody knows. Nano-medication is based on an extract of clay.
During past five decades, USA, Russia, France and Germany have made
great efforts to unravel an extract of clay for nano-medication unsuccessfully.
Your therapists are nothing, compared to Allah (God). Only nano-medication
can help you get cured.
羅積康 Thanks for reply! But can you tell me what Nano-medication is? How do I get it?
I had a stroke during covid and my family abandoned me in the hospital and i never received physical therapy because everything shut down my left side is paralyzed and was shoved in a nursing home
يمكنني العيش معك واعتني بك لكن انا بعيد على بلدك
this is fantastic, im recovering from an ischemic stroke....and my faith is strong, im doing my own rehab via neuroplasticity...but, i m disapponted in the tone that this sort of thing is something to be undertaken for folks like me, who now, due to the stroke, not having an income, nor being able to get any sort of disability.....i have to go back to work, drive a car a fair distance, and try to work in my old job in the financial world. and it takes a lotta brain power to do it, im not too happy about having to go back so early....other than that...this is inspirational....thank you.
Hello Frank, thanks for writing in. I'm delighted that you found this video helpful. In addition to my book and the book by Jill Taylor, take a look at The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. I recommend all three of our books as helpful. You say that your faith is strong; I'm delighted to hear that and I want to be sure that you are participating in a faith community of some sort. As you have heard me say, our relationships are crucial for healthy brain development. This is doubly so for your stroke recovery. So, participate in church or synagogue or temple or mosque; anywhere that you can find people who have an active spiritual life. I'm convinced that spirituality is a crucial aid to recovery. I'm a Christian, but I find that any sincere spirituality in which one is seeking a higher purpose and trying to fit their stroke experience within a larger reality is helpful.
Hello Frank, thanks for writing. I'm glad that you are on the road to recovery and I want to do what I can do encourage you. Remember that you have ADA protections available to you that can help you transition at work gradually up to your preinjury level of work demands. It takes time and patience, but working with a good doctor and therapist really can get you back to where you want to be. Keep this in mind: Recovery is not a straight line trajectory, it's a corkscrew. Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down, but if you look back over the past few weeks and months, you'll notice that today's down is probably higher than your earlier ups. I hope that makes sense to you. Please keep us posted.

God bless you and good luck! I had my stroke in August, 2018. I'm still working hard to recover ( I have spasticity on my affected side). I could not move my right hand or fingers at all for over a month after my stroke. One day, I moved and focused on my fingers, with the help of my good hand non stop for hours. It started to get sore lol, but I kid you not, after doing so I could suddenly twitch two of my fingers a tiny bit and it got better with time from there. I still have a lot of work to do, but it is improving and keep trying. Although I don't know how it will get better, I continue to have faith that it will get better and it is. It's slow and I have some really bad days, but it is getting better. Hang in their!

Why don't you come to India for the Ayurveda treatments that have helped many a stroke patients?
God bless u
Dear Aurora, there are many things that cause severe headaches after a stroke or brain injury. Don't give up on your doctors because they are often as frustrated as you are and they actually like challenges as long as their patients are willing to persevere. Be sure that you are giving yourself "just-right challenges", pushing yourself a little bit, but not too far. You need to be careful about properly stimulating yourself, so talk to your doctor and therapists about how much is just enough and how much is too much. Please keep us posted.
Im new on here but my husband recently had a stroke but he was getting them same headaches he couldn't sleep at all but this been going on for years.Doctors say it because his bp is high.i dont know im new to all this .I just my husband and everyone who suffered for a stroke dont never give up.

Doctor What are the Treatments for Breathe Properly after Stroke. Which Medical treatment Test Needs to Check ☒ Lungs and Heart. Is there Need Chest Therapy For This. Thank U Doctor. How These Stroke Patients Live Long Life as Usual. 💐🌹💐
I'm the sole caregiver for my wife who had her stroke almost 2 yrs ago in 2019. I know this is a old video but still gives us hope after watching.
She had her barrage of in patient/outpatient therapy for 2 - 4 week periods. Home exercises were ending up in arguments and frustrations, so tapered off. After watching this I have 2 questions:
*You mention 'neurons are damaged by stress chemicals', what causes the stress chemicals? (is this a Captain Obvious question?)
*After 2 years following the stroke- how applicable is this 'brain retraining' to use good neurons in the brain?
Good video, thanks
Dear Tim,
Thank you for your patience; I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I've just been swamped as I start seeing people again after they get vaccinated.
In response to your first question, the stress chemical of concern is cortisol, a key part of our homeostasis. Cortisol helps to prepare us for challenges, peaking an hour or two before we awaken and gradually tapering off over the course of the day. However, as we experience stressors throughout the day, more cortisol is produced and released. Our brains are designed to handle the ebb and flow of cortisol, but not a constantly high level, which stunts the synaptogenesis process. Synapses are continually growing from the neuron cell body to reach out and connect with other neurons to promote learning and adaptation and change. Constant high levels of cortisol trim the new synapses, limiting the ability of neurons to connect. This is why it is so important to include things like exercise and prayer or meditation in our daily lives, as well as focus on preparing for bed in the evening so that the residuals from a stressful day don't impair restorative sleep.
In response to your second question, the neurophysiology of mammal brains supports this process at any time in life; the younger the better but you're never too old. Time since the stroke probably doesn't make a difference, but there is not a definitive study because we typically rely on Therapists to provide treatment, limited by their need to get paid. If you take a look at the experience of Jill Bolte-Taylor, her mother's ongoing involvement supplemented by many friends and family and her own knowledgeable determination to persist is what brought her all the way back from a catastrophic stroke. It's only one case, but if you talk to any older rehab providers, we all know of others. The scientific research on this approach to stroke rehabilitation is continuing, albeit at a slow pace. Each of the studies that has come along in the last several years points to a modest but significant positive effect; this approach actually works. The primary problem in the efficacy of this approach is that it takes a lot of time and repetition. If families can't pick up what Therapists can't get authorization to provide, this approach is not going to be very effective. Throughout my 50+ years of practice, I have always demanded that families get involved. To accomplish this, I invite them onto the team and provide education and help them to develop a "can-do" attitude about home-based and community-based rehabilitation. After the initial workup and development and implementation of a therapy plan, I encourage Therapists to become coaches to the family rather than to continue to be the primary rehabbers. Whenever this happens, the involvement of families makes the rehabilitation experience much more successful.
So, to sum up. What I want my children and grandchildren to do when I suffer my stroke is to get very involved with the OT's and PT's to learn how to carry forward their plans after insurance will no longer support their active involvement. Most of my rehabilitation will take place after discharge from formal care both at home and in a public gym with my family educating the personal trainer who works with older folks on how to use appropriate conditioning equipment three or four days a week one hour to two hours at a time. I'll do my best to have good sleep and proper nutrition and I'll give it a long recovery trajectory with the confidence that this is the best approach and it is going to pay off. I'll have follow-up appointments with my Doc and the OT's and PT's every three or four months to show them how well I'm doing and encourage them to bring about an attitudinal shift; just like I'm trying to do with you right now.
Tim, I hope this is helpful for you and your wife; there's a lot left to live for! Your brain was designed for so much more! Len
@@faithfulbraincounseling545 Thank you for the well documented detailed response. Reading through it actually solidify s some past observations I've had. Pre Wife's stroke I was in a high tech career in a position of solving complex problems and one of the go-to members of the team for answers.
For past 2 years I find myself in a caregiver setting where nothing makes sense and I have no answers for someone I care for deeply. I suspect my observation that I sometimes feel myself loosing ability in thinking was due to relating to my wife may actually be to Cortisol created by the stress of this unknown situation.
Which is why I've been trying to self educate myself. FYI-I checked your site URL you included at the end of your video and received - domain is for sale.
Thanks for the response.
This post has been so useful and helpful as we are dealing with a friend who has had a fall and has to pay for medical expenses, but the family are unable to afford the operation at a cost of £8500 so now looking for a natural alternative And the story has been so inspiring, especially the faith part. Thank you so much. 🙏😇
Take malungay powder ( MORINGA POWDER ) daily. Please drink 1 tsp. of moringa powder for 1 week then 2 tsp. after 2nd weeks or more for complete basic nutrients in your body and cleaned the arteries together with morning or noontime sunshine for at least 30 minutes of vitamin d3 and keep walking that is the only effective way proven natural solution for stroke patients and diabetes ( NOTHING ELSE ) including cancer and can reverse these kind of diseases and cure 300 kinds of illnesses and it was already a scientific study since ancient times and that is your lifetime natural maintenance daily and it will take time to cleaned all the blood vessel in our body. IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST PLEASE HELP AND HEAL US.
Thank you. May God keep blessing you. Ameen
I’m in a nursing home and I cannot control the food that I eat, which is very very very sad and this food is not for gaining one’s health back. There is no dietitian either.
Thank you so much for video very helpful God bless you 🙏 ❤️

WAITING FOR MORE VIDEOS. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE.
Try putting my brother’s life back together! He’s 63 years old, suffered a massive stroke 4 years ago, paralyzed half his body, Aphasia too!
Some people cannot be in charge of anything. Not everyone has control over their own lives or living situation. Also, worth mentioning that the very changes due to stroke stops them from doing all the exercise and getting sleep. It is a catch-22.
Stroke is deadly any way live or not the ability of not walking standing alone no sleep no life atall no money to all this expenses that come with Stroke
thank you for your Inputs in These difficult topick, There is always hope to become better😅
I am a stroke survivor of right sided affecting left side.Had my stroke 1 year now and am struggling with frustration but is very determined to overcome,weaknesses and head pain.

Thanks for your encouragement! I'm delighted that the video was helpful; I find that people who follow these guidelines continue to improve. Patience and faith are crucial!
Thank you so much again. Yes, those too are a must. God bless you richly
Thank you for this. It is so very interesting. I am reading Jill Taylor's book and I plan to read yours. I'm a hemorrhagic and an ischemic stroke survivor. My main problem now is the post stroke seizures. But I keep plugging along!
Dear Eileen
Thank you for your encouragement. I look forward to learning of your thoughts after you read my book.
Len
Dear Eileen, great to hear from you. Thank you for writing. Seizures are a temporary problem, but it takes a lot of patience to dial-in the medications. What sorts of goals do you have for your recovery? What do you plan to do in the future? I encourage you to set some "just-right challenges" for yourself and be sure to communicate them with the people who are helping you put your life back together. Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
Nursing homes here in the Midwest or mainly for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients and those that are dying there’s no to little motivation on healing
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME

So helpful, thank you
How can anyone give this a thumbs down Great Video 👍
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I am surprised as well. If any of you dislike this video, please tell me how it can be improved. We are all in this together. If you live long enough, you or someone you love will experience a brain injury or stroke. As I try to describe in the video, the love of God and your family and friends will make a big difference in your recovery. And, as you recover, you can encourage others. Please post your story here as you make progress.

AMEN
Yes stroke rehab wont happen at all if left to the lazy staff of most rehab facilities.
Family MUST become actively involved. Or there will be little improvement.
If you love the stroke victim, show up dailey and remind the staff that you are activly overseeing your family members' care and NO subpar care will be tolerated.
Me too strokes prtientfor6month
I was finding this interesting until the god content, then I had to stop. I’m no Christian but if I were, having a stroke would surely put an end to that.
God doesn't make us sick!
@@calabriagirl4202 You claim that your god is omnipotent. Why are these things allowed to happen. Either your god is not omnipotent or just plain vengeful. Either way, as a stroke victim I would become a heretic.
Dear Leviathon2,
Yes, that's what a lot of people anticipate, but it happens much less often than you would expect. In fact, the turning to God that people do when they get blindsided by catastrophes like a stroke helped me to reconsider my atheism in the early years of my career. Danny Munday, a 14-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy who needed to sleep on a respirator got me started reconsidering my stance against God. In fact, I wasn't just an atheist, I was an anti-theist. It took me a few years of being in the trenches with severely traumatized adolescents before I started to use my scientific mind and training to consider the possibility that faith in God is an important rehab resource. The research actually demonstrates that fact; faith in a loving God makes a scientifically-measurable difference. You might want to get Francis Collins's book on his experience to explore this further. He is the director of the National Institutes of Health, a few years younger than me who went through a similar early career experience that gradually led him to start his faith journey. Meantime, thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts. They good care. Len
leviathon2 blessings to you then.. you must have a great happy life😊
@@calabriagirl4202 A non-sequitur if I have understood correctly. By ‘blessings’ do you mean ‘best wishes’?
thanks
Thanks so much
