STROKE

ANYONE HAVE ONE AND HOW LONG BACK TO NORMAL?

no stroke but e.r. told me I had a heart attack in dec and I was down a cpl weeks. Thats me...I have work to do. God insulates me.

A lot depends on the severity of it, the small ones I’ve had it’s taken 6 to 7 months but it only affected comprehension, not physical, speech, or sight.

That's true. A friend of mine's wife had a stroke last summer. She still has trouble with certain words and one of her legs is still weak. She goes to therapy for speech and muscle coordination.
Another guy I used to hunt elk with had a stroke early last fall. He has regained all the strength in his appendages, but can't say a complete sentence. If he doesn't talk, you never know anything was ever wrong with him.

So true, my mother had one in the hospital, never made it back.

Had one going on five years ago. It was a big one , what saved me is my wife found me and acted immediately . You'd never know it, but I'm definitely not 100%. I can get lost really easy in unfamiliar areas, sometimes even familiar ones. I can't fill out forms , even simple ones. My speech is pretty good now, but, depending on how much stimulus I'm subject ; that can induce my aphasia and won't be speaking or responding . Just a brain that's 'buffering'. There's other things, but you get the idea.

There is no single answer to that. Strokes can range from very mild to extremely severe and fatal. They can also occur in different parts of the brain, resulting in different types of damage and different treatments and recovery time needed. All different. No single answer. I hope you and yours are alright!

I had a very bad Stroke in '06 Tubing behind a ski boat at high speeds; direction of inner Right caroted artery. That plugged up 98% and I had a brain blockage at 65% .I was life flighted to Abbott NW. mpls. They lost me and wi was revived twice. I was in the hospital a week then rehab...
9 MRI/ MRAs later, the specialist told me My caroted is gone a micro tiny pendel lead sized artery built around the blockage and my brain block disapated only half. I got my Left side back and regained most all speech.it took healing prayer and a year.
Doc says something unearthly headed me because I should be in a chair not speaking.

Prayers from me to You!

My late wife had a major one in 2013. Never regained her left side use, speech was finally regained during the 5 months she spent in the hospital.
Spent the remainder off her life in a wheelchair. Every stroke is different. No set recovery time.

Lots of variables to be considered, severity of stoke, health of person prior to, mental condition of person, is that person a survivor or a quiter?
After 3 still giving life fits. After about a week back to pretty muck normal, not that I was ever normal to begin with according to the wife

I've had a few TIA's stroke doctor said that they were cause by cancer, the worst took a few months to get back, I believe that they were harder on my wife than me,

have had several minor ones.lost half eye my sight in rite eye.had open heart surgery on feb 16th .and during good .start 12 weeks of cardiac rehab tues.

My wife had a bad one 2 years ago tomorrow, Monday.
No two strokes are the same, location, how bad, I don't think you can saw how much one can recover.
My wife had it on the brain stem, speech and swallowing therapy, therapy for her upper and lower body.
One lady said her mom was back to normal in a year.
I'm pretty sure my wife will never drive or work again, she can't even get dressed or cook.
They say you best recovery will be in the first year.
We found out a year after the stroke that statins prevent the brain from recovering, she was on a steady dose of that garbage.
They never once said anything about diet for recovery.
Certain foods help the brain recover, blueberries, walnuts, lions mane,
We bought a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, it was the best thing.
Got rid of our arthritis pain, fibromyalgia, and reduced her post stroke nerve pain enough to no longer needing pain meds or pain cream.

My wife is on a stroke recovery site, most of the people on there are 20-30 years old, they blame the vaccine for their stroke, a lot of spouses left, couldn't handle it

My dad had one back in Nov of 2010.luckily he was in the er with my mom.dr told him if he wouldn't of been there he would be dead or in a nursing home.it was on his brain stem.if I remember right they had just approved blood clot dissolving drug tpa.you couldn't understand him when he tried to talk and his right side was not working.after they gave him the drug he came out of it and lived pretty much normal life until Parkinson. He just turned 87 March 19th.

My wife woke up with her stroke, they have to give that drug within 3-4 hours or it won't help, or it could kill you.
They didn't give her that drug because there was no way to know how long it had been since her stroke started

Your correct 4 hrs if I remember right and they need to know exactly how much you weigh.

My younger brother had a small one, better part of a year. All depends on how bad it was. And how fast you get help.
