Here's what you do: Try to cut out dairy and meat completely or limit yourself to small servings every few days!  Little or NO oil, fried foods.  Every night and every morning, a glass of Lemon and water.  Stevia, although more expensive is a natural sweetener and should be used instead of sugar.  Use whole wheat bread and flour,  white bread and flour sticks to your arteries.  Eat only fruits up until noon.  A LOT of esparagus.  Good and healthy w/ soy sauce, mixed w/ little virgin olive oil, garlic and another spice you may wish to use.  This will help avoid other strokes in the future.  Remember to walk or swim, or do some sort of excercise daily, improving cardiovascular system.  Best of Luck!

I had my stroke at the old age of 46.  It was difficult the first week in the hospital as I had difficulty talking and my entire left side was weak.  When I got home I practised the exercises I was given to do as therapy and also attended rehab.  I asked the family not to do things for me unless I asked them to.  It was frustrating not to be able to do simple everyday tasks.  And while I intellectually knew strokes could cause depression I never applied it to me.  Shortly after going home I one day decided I just couldn't stand it any more.  Of course I was now suffering major depression but didn't recognize it in myself.  Luckily my Dr did and started me on a regimen to control this.\n\nWhat I am saying is treat your brother the same as always.  Let him be your guide on how much assistance he needs.  And be on watch for the sudden depression - not saying it will happen but it is possible due to hormonal and chemical changes in the brain.

A stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident (CVA) occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disturbed in some way. As a result, brain cells are starved of oxygen causing some cells to die and leaving other cells damaged.\n\nThe presentation of the stroke depends on what part of the brain was affected. One site of  common strokes affects the left middle cerebral artery, often resulting in speech deficits and right hemiplegia (paralysis). \n\nI have worked with many people who have suffered from strokes - ranging from very mild to very severe.  Yes - it is possible to recover - like the others said with physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy (if there are speech, swallowing, or cognitive impairments). It depends on the severity of the stroke and the persons committment to work as to if they will recover.  I have worked with some who give it their all, and others who give up. \n\nGenerally, the most rapid amount of recovery occurs within the first three months.  After that, by the end of the first year after the stroke, the majority of function that returns is done.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Yeah, you're getting old and life is passing away.  Welcome to a very large club.  Everyone I know is a day older than they were yesterday.  I'm 54 and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up but that doesn't let me off the hook today, and tomorrow, or the day after that, or even what happened 2 months ago.  The truth is very few of us have any sort of dream life, but we still have bills to pay and kids to raise.  you want some cheese to go with that wine.  Pack the bags , we are going on a quilt trip.  I just feel so sorry for you I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.

Let me first way that I am sorry you lost your parents at such an early age- that must have been very hard to deal with. Secondly how sweet of you to want to understand what your friends are going through.\nI am trying now to find out how I can get a wheelchair ramp built for my parents house so we csn get my dad in and out more easily. He uses a walker and a wheelchair, but my mom has trouble getting him in an out of the house (they have steep steps.) \nI just finally got around to getting ahospital bad for my dad downstairs and the wheelchair through medicare. Medicare could not provide me with any suppliers-- they gave me three dentist's phone numbers for a wheel cahair and hospital bed. I finally called Apria Heathcare supplies and they took care of all the paper work for me. All I had to do was get a prescription for the equipment from my Dad's doctor.\nSome hospitals give classes on elderly care and financial advice as well---check with your local hospital.

i'm almost positive no one has.  but medicine has made amazing advances in the past years and people are now starting to live into their 40's and 50's.  so someday, it may be possible, but i'm pretty sure it hasn't happened yet, especially since someone who'd be old enough to have lived that long, would have been born with the disease when you ALWAYS died of it before you turned 20.

look into support groups, ask your doctor about groups that meet.  exercise in warm water is really good.

I would have to say no, the older you are the more you increase your risk of blood clot or stroke, my concern also, is that you are asking on a message board and not asking your physician this question. I at least hope you aren't smoking, that would further increase your risks. good luck and god bless

I would like to try to help you, but I don't know exactly what you need guidance in. I'm a bit younger than you, but I am wise beyond my years. I was born in 81. I am assuming however, that you are not stating your situation, yet your age in hopes of someone with a sixth sense responding..can't help ya there. Only thing I can leave you with is to follow your heart and let God help guide you to the right path!!

If truely the diagnosis is a mild stroke,  the area that was damage will never be fixed.  However, please remember that the brain is an incredible organ.  People who have had strokes in the past whether it affected there body, speech, swallow, or memory have rehab to regain some function back.

you can ask the doctor for a group of stroke patients. My sister had a stroke last March. She is 41yrs. old. So I know we got her into group activities with other stroke patients. And they doctors told us tree Questions to ask her if we think she is having another stroke.\n1. Can you tell us your name , birthday and the month and year it is.\n2. Smile for me\n3. Touch your finger to your nose.\nThese are simple things but a stroke makes it difficult to do this. I will say a special prayer for your family and you.
