stroke definition writing

Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is very difficult to tell if he will be able to recover completely or not. There is no way of finding out for sure. Please continue with speech therapy. Hopefully he will respond to it. It requires patience and perseverance. Please be optimistic and do not give up. Good luck!

I am writing this for my husband. He had a stroke last week. It’s affected his eye sight, balance and memory. He starts OT and PT next week. Has anyone had eyes affected and gained their sight back. What about gaining memory back?

Doing a journal on my diet, weight, and diabetes numbers after my TIA/Stroke. Talking to one of my doctors two days ago, he read a new article that states that the medical comunity has revised their take on TIA's. They now no that there can be a longer recovery period than previously believed (1 to 24 hours), and even permanent damage. I now realize that I am having troubles remembering things I did just the day before (like what I ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

My baby had a stroke prior to or at birth that affected her right frontal lobe and right temportal lobe. At 6 months, she appears to have no outward signs of the stroke. From what I've read, some of the damage of the stroke may not be seen until later. Does anyone else have a child like mine? What did you find over time.

HOWEVER, I notice that my right hand is frequently clenched. If I am typing or writing or eating.......it is ok. BUT, for no reason, I could be sitting and watching TV and I find that my fist is closed. Why.....is my question. When I recognize it, I open it and no problem, but then later on........it is closed again. Let me know your thoughts.

I was told that the only way to detect a stroke with tests is while the stroke is still happening. You need a neurologist to determine if the damage is permanent and help you recover.

I am writing this email in regards to my father-in-law on the behalf of his wife. he has been suffering from erectile disfunction since his stroke in 2004. My mother in-law is concerned about his penis because it is reseeding in, to the point that when he needs to use the washroom that his wife needs to help with they both have a difficult time trying to get it out in time since he has little controll over is bladder. I was wondering what causes this and if there is anything that can help him.

On June 5th a day after my 27th birthday I had a stroke. Before my stroke I was just a normal relatively healthy 26 year old. I had an active lifestyle that included walked or running 4 to 7 miles daily. Eating healthy and organic when possible. I was rushed to the ER by my boyfriend the morning of my stroke. Prior to my realization that I was having a stroke. I felt tired, couldn't stand up straight. And was leaning on the walls to help steady myself while I walked.

Why were you put on Plavix in the beginning... for heart attack or stroke? Absolutely going off of it can lead to a mini-stroke/TIA, but going odd wont CAUSE one. Unfortunately you have to go off before a biopsy as it makes your blood thinner and there is too much risk of bleeding. Don't worry too much about the TIA, most have no long standing effects unless you have a LOT of them. So you want to go back on the Plavix and DON'T miss any doses! It should work right away.

Other things on that side are things like speech, writing and reading, and changes in mood. What is the follow up for his stroke last week? Remember the warning signs . . . FAST. Which stands for: F = Face: One side of the face droops. A = Arms: One arm starts to drop when both arms are raised. S = Speech: Speech is slurred or sounds different than usual. T = Time: A person who is having a stroke needs to be seen immediately.

It had been hours since I had a migraine and suddenly my vision was doubled, one image on top of the other. My right eye drooped for 2-3 days like a stroke. I was given a MRI and was diagnoised as a migraine. I have had migraines for years and normally have the aura but never like this....has anyone else had such a migraine?

Should I refrain from driving if they are not able to pin-point the problem that caused me to black-out? What is the difference in having a stroke (and accident) and then driving again. Just because you had one stroke does not mean you will absolutely have another???

My 58 year old husband had a stroke last Sunday. We were let out of the hospital last night with no instructions, warnings or anything. Any sugestions? I am terrified. What next?

My father has COPD and one month ago due to brain stroke ( stroke coverd his right side) he got paralised in LHS. suddnly his COPD attack increses and he put in to artificial ventilation. but within 32 hours he got out of it. After that he live nicely but every 2-3 days he got spazum and needed to gave oxygen supply with bipap. Doctor (Chest Specialist) was always telling that his lungs are weak but not that much which causes frequent spazum.

She can talk vaguely slurred. She hasn't been reading nor writing yet of her second stroke. When other talks she sometimes listen. Sometimes she understands.

I already had a form of dementia (encephalitus) and the stroke seems to have made it worse. Even writing on here is so taxing and computers have always been in my life. I welcome your thoughts on this. Thank you.

After almost a year, I have had all relevant tests [according to Neurologist]. All I have been told is that I have had strokes. He has dismissed MS as a diagnosis, he says this is because the LP, Evoked Potentials and scan of carotid arteries were all normal. He appears to have not taken into account the physical and neurological symptoms that I am still experiencing. I have been discharged from his clinic! And feel that he has been very dismissive.
