His fist stroke at 35 took half his cerebellum. My brother is 39 and just had his second stroke. He has a chest infection which we know may kill him, but we just hope and pray he will survive They are eager to give him morphine which so far we have resisted. He is 59 and we are constantly being told there is no hope, constantly being told we can let him die anytime. It was six weeks yesterday since my husband fell into the coma. He is opening his eyes now and making small improvements, I am moved to tears by many of the posts, and heartened to hear of success stories. We fought and fought and eventually got treatment reinstated. We asked for a second opinion and were told there is no one to give it. We begged for him to be treated as if he might survive but were told no. We were told to withdraw treatment and fluids, but we refused to withdraw fluids. My husband had a brain stem stroke on Christmas Eve, and another on Dec. You can do anything you put your mind to. I am down to once a week and doing daily home therapy alone.
I had my brain stem stroke five months ago! I have had great support from my friends and family. It's been almost a year now and I feel great, but have lots of survivors guilt. I also had blurred vision, but I got it all back. I was unable to walk or use the bathroom for four months. I had a brain stem stroke in November 2014. My husband would like 100 percent assurance that she will have no function before he can decide. So they would like to turn to comfort care. Statements by all doctors are that she would be bedridden and no longer the person that she once was. She has yet to come out of her coma due to uncontrolled blood pressure. She is deaf, blind and will have altered brain functions. We have been given all info regarding her prognosis. My sister in law suffered brain stem stroke at 48 two weeks ago. I wish we veterans had better medical care. Hope it works because deadly strokes run in my family. Only God gets the credit for breaking up the clot, because the VA didn't seem to care. They said it was quite large but it broke up "somehow". They did the tests and told me I had a brain stem stroke and showed me the photos. I waited the two weeks and symptoms had lessened, but my eyes still have times of going out of focus. Instead of seeing me, he gave me an appointment date for two weeks out for testing!! I thought strokes were supposed to be an emergency, but he didn't seem to care. He then said that since it was Friday, there was nothing he could do, to call him back on Monday so I did. He said to call him the next day to give him an update. I had half a face and my eyes were going in and out of focus. Many of these conditions are hereditary, meaning they are passed down through family lines.I have VA Medical, and I had a stroke about two months ago. As a result, the part of the body controlled by the damaged area of the brain cannot work properly.Īlthough strokes most frequently are caused by factors such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, there also are other rare conditions that may lead to stroke. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked ( ischemic stroke), leaks or bursts ( hemorrhagic stroke), damaging or killing nerve cells in the brain.
