Don't know where I would be without my wonderful PTs andOTs.had to learn how to walk and use my hands again. So to all the caring therapists may GOD bless you.
I just came home from the hospital due to high blood pressure, was dizzy and nauseous. Currently dealing with nerve issues, unable to sleep in my own bed, due to thighs "being on fire". Sleeping in tall chair, little nerve issues, but deal with edema. Currently was accepted to a program that will assist with recliner/hospital bed, home delivered meals, and most importantly, a personal care assistant which allows me to get out of the house. I use my affected side every day, and continue to work on my speech and vision/coordination issues. Use it or lose it!!!
25,and suffered hemiplegia (mild stroke). Everything seemed done cause even my sight was tampered with,my taste,wobbly balance,slurred speech and even incontinence...NEVER EVER give up and work to be the best version of yourself.
Your not jabbed are you? I am 24 and not jabbed. Have a artificial heart valve, suffered endocarditis and think I may be suffering from a stroke or post stroke symptoms. They want to diagnose me with psychosis. Fun fun...
Its been 4yrs since i got diagnosed with a stroke due to injury.I've regained some of my movements like i do ride my bike and some little dumbbell movements.Never give up, neurological injuries will take time to recover.keep on leeping on.

Thank you so much for this video still recovering from the side effects of a stroke. Mental health is very important for me now because it's frustrating not being able to do what I use to do
Post Stroke Your content is great I had a stroke five years ago I still haven't grieved Over the stroke I am doing quite a bit exercises And trying to stay active I know how hard it is. Thank you for this channel.This is a great deal help for every.One who's ever had in there. We're gonna we're gonna get through it together
@cedricnash7735 Thank you for your kind words ❤️ It really is so helpful to have a community of people who understand you. I hope you find some of that here.
@@PostStrokeOrg I would love to be a part of this community. Anyway, I can. It's amazing how we need help doing normal things now. People think that you have lost your mind or don't know what you're doing not because you show it. Just cause they've been trying to think that way. And so I'm in the middle of going to there are buzz many who? I'm gonna get some test done and have it in writing. And I'm gonna try to run my own house. What I mean by that I don't need.

And just have a you know, just have them do it.I hope you have a great day and I can't wait to talk to you again
Excellent content. It’s been a little over a year since my stroke. I’ve been blessed to be able to resume pretty much a normal functioning life. Your videos are right on target and informative. Bless You!!
Frank, Same experience with me, except that the balance hasn’t fully returned when I walk. Elyse’s videos, including this last one, are great and give me constant encouragement. Thank you Elysef Best wishes
four years since my stroke i've made progress in mobility in my left side even now staying active is so important my attitude from the beginning has been good but frustration is common trait i keep in contact with fb stroke survivors thanks for posting
Are there stroke survivors that we can keep in contact with? Mine was a cerebellar stroke and brain surgery to have the right side of my cerebellum removed. It affected my right side. They didn’t expect me to live but here I am! I am so thankful to my neurosurgeon but it is very hard to keep a positive attitude all of the time. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful husband who is very supportive but sometimes he just doesn’t understand how hard it is! This happened December 24, 2023 so only 5 months ago!
I had a Right haemorrhagic stroke 3 years and a few weeks ago. I sometimes feel so frustrated, as I would love to go back to my "old normal" self asap. And I've noticed frustration makes me not very active in OT.
Fantastic as usual ❤❤❤❤ I got a shoulder brace and used it regularly now I use it once in a while. Mirror therapy helped me A LOT! Spasticity and neurofatigue are my enemies ATM. Been working on my balancing for some time now. Most days it's better.
@hemasookram4655 Shoulder braces are usually okay!! I'm so glad to hear that mirror therapy helped you. It's a great treatment. I'm sorry the fight is ongoing with spasticity and neurofatigue. I hope you're being kind to yourself ❤️
What motivated me towards my recovery is an awareness that in my case because of my poor nutritional habits and lack of any kind of medical counseling i was responsible for my stroke so i took that irresponsibly and made it the core of my comeback, in other words healthy shame
Thanks for enlightenment I have á massive stroke 10 years ago and recovered I can walked with a cane at short distance and my problem until now are my thick saliva stuck at my throat until now and can't stand up alone without assistance.is it permanently disability?😮
PT needs to be a daily thing that is not performed as a chore. PT is something that will get you back to feeling more like your "Old Self". Remember, recovery is a marathon, not a sprint.
Extremely helpful in depth analysis..... every word of yours counts. As a physiotherapist I have been watching your channel & I am really happy with the commendable job you are doing and serving towards humanity 👍 I will request you to make video on orthotics used by hemiplegics it will be more confined as occupational therapist.
Incredible how informative this advice was. After more than a year now recovering very slowly from a stoke that affected my right side this advice was what I needed to hear. I’m improving ever so slowly but hearing all of this information was continued help to me and should hopefully be to many others. Thank you ❤
thank you for the reply ! Having never made a comment there was just something true and honest in your information. I’m an American stroke victim in France. I would be sent to a wonderful clinic that was wonderful to me because of its various staff both physical therapists (kiné) and occupational therapist (ergonomics) and voice therapy. Each person was quite special to me but the recovery process has been a very slow one. Spent more than six months living and re-educating there then about another five month three days a week day program that didn’t feel it progressed me as well but now with a private three days a week young physical therapist he seems to have many of the advice that you present as the old clinic did as well “why can’t I wear a brace like they are?” They would explain how they wanted to get me back closer to how I was. My current physical therapist is all about getting out there and reclaiming your life. Videos like yours really have a similar tone that makes me feel it will one day be possible! Again my thanks to you for all of the help you share with your followers. ❤

I am one year out from ischemic stroke in the thalamis. I developed hemichorea on left shoulder, arm & hand about 11 months ago. I have done OT & PT for months. I am very frustrated with the lack of knowledge of my condition. I'm feeling quite alone!! I do have a movement disorder neurologist specialist, but no med or botox have helped. Any help would be SO appreciated. Your videos alone have given me hope, but I need to know there are others with my condition out there somewhere! Thank you
Just do what you feel you can do safely.It can help your mental state if you yourself feel you acheiving something rember stay we keep fighting and most importantly never ever give up doing that will get you nowhere if you feel you are getting somewher that maybe the greatest lift you need
Thank you I've been so stuck on what do I do about my arm that has almost no function,I can close my hand a little but not release pull my arm up a little and bend at the elbow just a little takes everything I got to do it I have a mirror glove so you recommend it? It basically opens and closes my hand all fingers at once I use e stem on different areas as well to get muscle movement,am I doing the right things to get function back? I'm 4 months post stroke. Walking with a quad cane leg is getting stronger but only feels natural walking holding a rail on my ramp which is 90 foot I wear a afo how long should I continue to wear it ? Is it hindering progress? Came back to edit still pretty much the same balance is better still using cane,arm still not much there , I'm putting it all in Jesus hand tried all the workout stuff 1000s of reps little improvement time to let the Lord heal me
Good morning, Teacher. Been hospitalized for the 3rd time. 😢💛🙏1st my Stroke then Cellulites. 2 weeks i'm at home wth oral anti- biotics and medicines that are important. Pls help....don't why. My Doctor is helping too but is wondering why I have this again? 😢💛🙏
Hello Elyse, all I want to know is if I’m trying to cut down on my weight, because my blood pressure is guided by my weight, what if I start to feel tired from the diet. Does that leave me open to another stroke. G
Stroke has slowed me down. I them had an accident at a local laundromat where their maintenance left machines that did not ring out water from clothes. I slipped and broke my shoulder and hip. Trying to regain movement in arm and hand. 3 weeks out regained hip ,but arm was badly injured. Not sure what to do to get my arm back along with hand. Therapy cancled due to fall.
I think for shoulder pulley is based for the age and strength of patient cause. It help me but I'm quite young to be a stroke patient tbh 31 years old..
I am following you from few months, i had brain hammarage in dec 22 my left side is paralyzed, i m trying get recover but facing difficulty with fingers specialy my thumb, it's too spastic and whenever try lift my hand or try to hold someone thumb goes inside the finger and abducted. Could you please advise me what to do ,??
Hello ( maybe someone’ll answer me): Do I need to train the ability to “running fast”(sprinting) as well as for example someone to exercise the affected arm? will this ability be restored on its own in the future? 4 months have passed since the stroke (hemorrhagic). Thanks.
Mam,me stroke survivor,I look downward while walking and it becomes habit and looking straight and walk my head feel heaviness, pls advise.my slogan to all stroke survivors "there is life after stroke, never give up". tattoo this on your affected hand and exercise,see the result.God bless you all.
I work in home health physical therapy with the geriatric population. So many patients are frustrated and depressed post stroke and I understand that. What I can't understand is not realizing a good home exercise program is critical for progress. Sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get someone to participate, let alone perform any exercises on their own. I have worked with people who are still in a WC many years later b/c they never took the time to take care of themselves after their stroke. So sad.
@cinnamongirl3070 I've worked in home health as well. It's very much a two-edged sword. When someone is frustrated and depressed, it's hard for them to want to engage in exercises that will help them. If they're depressed, at that point in time, may not want to get better. What they don't realize is that not acting now has consequences later, but it can be difficult to encourage them in the midst of a depressive episode. We SHOULD incorporate mental health care in with physical rehab after something as traumatic as a stroke or brain injury. Unfortunately, our system is just not set up that way. We need to do what WE can as rehab therapists to address BOTH the physical and mental aspects of rehab in order to be most effective ❤️
Don't know where I would be without my wonderful PTs andOTs.had to learn how to walk and use my hands again. So to all the caring therapists may GOD bless you.
