stroke recovery after one year

I started providing such therapy to a 99 year old woman with partial left sided-paralysis secondary to a stroke, and it disappeared after two years. She is now 108 years old. The MRSA infection is far more serious. I am up on this because I have one now. I picked mine up in a hospital, and the antibiotics are expensive and not too effective. Surgery was necessary to remove my infection. You need a consult with an infectious control specialist at a teaching hospital..Do this immediately.

I am so sad. My 34 year old cousin had a stroke one day ago. One side of her bocy is paralized and she can't speak. I can't believe it! She was very active and in fact, was at the gym when she fell down. I live far away from her and I don't know the details, but I am so scared for her right now. Is it possible for someone to become un-paralyzed when they have a stroke? Is it a bad sign that she can't talk? I am in such disbelief this could happen to someone so young.

She had acupuncture therapy, physical therapy, speed therapy, and friends come to talk, read play music, joking, and pray for her. after 5 year she now can eat, talk slowly and learning walking now. So please do your best for your mom , and God bless you and your mom.

The entire left side of his body became paralyzed. After stroke rehabiliation, and lots of after treatment, he has made some progress. He is still unable to move the entire left arm and fingers, and his left leg. His personality has changed, although he appears to have recovered about 90% of his previous cognitive ability. Depression after the stroke has been severe. Does anyone know of treatment that might help my son reecover the use of the paralyzed limbs? He is only 31 yrs.

My 79 year old husband suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on 11/18/08. Before the stroke he was very active and seemed to be in generally good health.

After 5 days he was sent back to the hospital with pneumonia.

My nearly 84 year old mother suffered a "major" stroke 2 days ago. She has not opened her eyes, though she shows signs of awareness and can follow directions when asked. She is sleeping allot. Initially she lost movement on her left side, but it very slowly seems to be coming back. She is saying words, though they are hard to understand. She is receiving IV fluids. The doctor said they would give her another day and see if she "wakes up".

If you have access to a gym you could work on the exercise machines that require two arms and start exercising with both arms and slowly remove the good one and keep going with the bad arm at the lowest weight setting.. Read the book Stronger After Stroke by Peter Levine for lots more ideas on what recovery will look like.

My 76 year old cousin is in hospital now after suffering a massive stroke she is unable to swallow and is paralysed on the right side. She has a saleine drip and nothing else can anyone tell me what the prognosis is for her.

also, depression is a huge problem with stroke recovery and can impede recovery greatly. it can also mask itself as exhaustion. a stroke sufferer may feel genuinely tired or they may feel overwhelmingly depressed.. i personally have found that movement, especially when i don't want to do it, has been very helpful in regaining energy and stamina. we bought a wii fit and the balance excercises with the yoga have helped me.

Is it true that the (stroke) recovery that one makes 6 months or 1 year later is probably the most they will recover?

Hi, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), needs to be given within 4.5 hours after stroke symptoms, this restores the blood supply to the affected part, as this had been initiated early its more likely that he may recover most of his functions. As a major area has been affected, it could cause edema and consequent effects. As the swelling and inflammation subsides and the blood supply is restored well, he should improve, until then he needs to be monitored.

m afraid that modern medicine can do little in stroke recovery, so I suggest you can take some alternative medicine. Meditation, acupuncture, hypnosis, reflexology, herbalmedicine, and so on are all alternative medicine, and I think there must be one can help you. My friend's mother caught stroke and we are looking for any treatment to help her. I think Traditional Chinese Medicine should be my best choice. After our searching, oral pellet and massage will improve the condition.

Hello~Dogs, like people, can have changes after a stroke and personality changes is one of the changes. Sometimes, this will pass in a few months, in the meantime, just keep loving her.

my husband continues to recover from a stroke suffered a year ago. He suffers from aphasia and his ability to talk , read and write are still affected. although he has improved greatly. He also has obsessive cumpulsive disorder which is very hard for his family to deal with. As a person recovers and gets his skills back will there be an improvement in his disposition and a return to normal behavior? Also, his neurologist has reccomended hyperbaric oxygen treatments to help his brain recover.

This is a insurance/HMo term, not a medical term. Stroke recovery is extremely slow but it does keep going. You need to ask your medical staff about neuroplasticity, recovery can continue for years. Sinbce they say he is not going to get better, ask for a specific reason they are saying this(they will not be able to provide it but keep pushing). Most doctors have no clue on which people can recover past the standard 6-12 month spontaneous recovery.
