I had an ischemic stroke, and they never figured out why. That was very hard for me to deal with and accept. I wanted to know why so I could make lifestyle changes, but not knowing the cause was very frustrating for me. It took time and counseling for me to make peace with the not knowing, and move forward
As a nurse I need to ask all these questions and it helped a lot! Encourage everyone that watches your Channel to follow up with a doctor and make sure these questions are answered
A had a cavernoma. Stroke. Unfortunately very few people know what that is. It was in the left cerebellum another little known area. As this was a congenital condition I as a retired neuropsychologist I knew my lifestyle had nothing to do with it but as an avid walker,surfer, and kayaker I had to quit these. Took 6 months to learn how to walk. I also am a stage 4 prostate cancer survivor so if it’s not one thing it’s another. I’ve had a lot of time to watch utube videos. You are doing a good job. I appreciate you.
You are a blessing... to be able to get all your support ... is in all reality a miracle. I had PT for 4 years ... 3 days per week....after my stroke. Still not much luck...but my life is ... all l need! 😉 l feel that what you teach is so very wonderful. You have a heart!! Thank you so very much!! ❤️

Hi Dr Elyse, I am two years post stroke and still having cognitive issues. Do you think OT will help me? I’m seeing a therapist, but he’s not really familiar with the stroke.❤tfs

My doctor said my stroke at 34 yrs old was my blood pressure mixed with the mthfr gene that I didn't know I had
Thanks for your concern and for sharing such good information.
Chronic stress and high blood pressure were the cause for my hemoragic stroke at age 42.

Don't bother if you live in the UK, unless your GP is private. The NHS doesn't care.
