I had a brain stem stroke Nov 24,2017. I could not eat by mouth for 6 weeks and was in ccu for 1 week and 2 weeks in a rehab hospital. I take norastatin,lispirnol,aspirin325mg,gabapentin,B-12 pills and panta prozole The docs said mine was cause by blood pressure and blockage in brain stem blood supply I received outpatient physical therapy and occupational therapy for approximately 30 weeks and improved a lot with it .They also would not not give me TPA as they said my stroke was a wakeup stroke and it might kill me . I wonder if my quality of life would be better if they had.I did not smoke or drink and exercised regulary. My caregiver recently left because of my inability to live a somewhat normal life so now its just me and my 3 small dogs.God has kept me alive for some reason. I hope he will let me walk again someday
I do find yoga, meditation, purely a plant based diet helps.
I take 10 to 30 grams of vitamin c a day, magnesium l-threonate, magnesium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, vitamin a, e, k, D3, and I'm no further forward.
I drink water, dandelion coffee, water and small.amounts of coffee.
I practice self hypnosis, nlp, and study as much as I can as I lost my memory or rather a lot of memory.
The best that I get is by fruit smoothies with protein powder, mct oil, seeds, walnuts, blended in water, with L-lysine, 10 grams, BCAA, and that is my one nutrient dense meal. I often include lots of green veg and I am getting better from the inside out you day at a time.
Drastic changes.
My stroke was caused by a cortisol injection in my neck by a Dr Malek in Brentwood.
No one remembers or is aware that they had a seizure. If your loved one seems more confused than normal or has a blank stare where they aren’t responsive You might want to mention this to your Doctor. My seizures are followed by extreme dizziness and migraines. Medicine helps to have fewer seizures and symptoms. This however is just a suggestion as I am not a professional Doctor.
