    South Africa needs more rehab centres mainly for neurological therapy to deal with TBI, CVA and related conditions. Few rehab centres are available in the country and most of them are private facilities. We need more government support in establishing such facilities.

    I am so happy that they were able to still recover from the stroke at a young age still. Stroke is a very cruel thing. My dad lost almost everything due to this attack. Our family had to start from scratch as a result of how weak my dad became when he lost his speech. It must have been so frustrating for people that were able helping them out from a nature they were not familiar with. Thank you again for educating our nation with such powerful episodes.

    This is really educational and when sis Relebogile mentioned the fact that when it comes to certain illnesses, it's always associated to old people's diseases and i think that, it's hightime we share such information so that we raise awareness . I remember last year March, i came from work, all was well and suddenly i could not breath. After several tests, doctor diagnosed me with pulmonary embolism. My family was informed that i will not survive this, everyone was intrigued as to how this happened as they continue to figure out what the cause was. Ofcourse i had no surgery or any operation, had not given birth and nor am i old as this are the common causes of PE. So, blood clot situations are very common in young people too.

    I'm just wondering if Relebogile ever feels overwhelmed by all these stories.I feel as educating and eye opening as they are, there's an emotional side to them as well, like when she asked a similar question to that psychic lady a few episodes ago.
    I hope you have a way of calming yourself down and releasing sisi. Also* you were made for this, you were made to deliver these stories to us.❤

I hv no back function. So am semi paralyzed. Legs and arms don't function. They sometimes cramp and don't wk. The pains are excruciating and medication doesn't wk. I hv used all medicine , bt nothing seems to wk. It is very scary.

    This episode makes me re-live that fateful night of April 21 2021 when I had a Stroke attack. At only 45, no underlying condition associated with Stroke like HBP, Diabetes or High Cholesterol. Fairly healthy and a very active person. The most painful thing with Stroke Survivors is being misunderstood and not knowing what caused your Stroke because you live in constant fear of another stroke. It's a nightmare for your Caregivers because one minute you're fine and the next you're depressed and feeling like giving up on life. Anxiety and Vertigo are your everyday struggles - noise can drive you crazy etc. We need a local (SA) Support group to share experiences and support available for Stroke Survivors.

    I have been through a similar situation in August 2013 at the age of 24, at first it was described as minor stroke by my GP and she gave me medication and my face was disformed already but she told me that I will be fine, so I did not take it very serious because the Doctor said I will be fine. 18 October same year I had a serious one where I fell out of the no where and I personally thought my spine broke and I requested an ambulance instead of being taken to the hospital by a car on arrival I was rushed for scans coz it was so severe that my whole left side was affected. I was hospitalized for a week and when I got discharged I was only given simvastatin and red disprin because they couldn't find the cause of the stroke, but after 2 years of taking the the combo they concluded that I was born with deficiency of protein S where my blood would just thicken from time and again causing blood clots.
    Its pity how our community would associate stroke affected people with the stigma of HIV/AIDS, they don't allow themselves to learn through other people's journey. My signs started as my eye blinking voluntarily and I thought I am gonna see someone or cry little did I know that my blood couldn't circulate properly through the veins but these days I know better when I come across that signs or spasm I quickly take my red disprin.
    I almost suffered the 3rd stroke in M arch 2021 but because I have more knowledge now and God has my back I have made it
