I am a stroke survivor for the last 10 years, I was a soldier and fighter, but didn't know there are 7 stages of Strokes, this article has given me hope and motivation that I can recover from it at the age of 70, life is so beautiful and I want to enjoy more till my last breath.

I had a serious stroke in spring 2021. Completely flaccid on my left side. In 2023, I’m probably stage 4 or 5 on my leg and arm and a 3 in my shoulder and hand. The shoulder and hand is very frustrating.

Do not give up. NEVER SETTLE. Keep fighting for every fraction of a percent of gain. Plateaus come and go, back sliding happens. It’s all part of the journey now. I may never be what I was, but I’m always making small gains. I fight every day for a little more and I’m grateful for what I have.

Great video! I had 4 strokes in October and November 2023. I've gone from not being able to walk, talk, swallow, to now working out 4 days/week/2 hrs/day. I put small goals, building on those to get where I am in 8 months. I walk very slowly with a cane and my speech, although much better, is still greatly affected. Recovery is a process and a mindset.

Hi Elyse, as always, thanks for your insights. In December it will be 3 years since I had a stroke. I've struggled physically and mentally with my recovery, but finding your channel has given me the greatest hope. From the time I found your video on neurofatigue and how to manage the effects it has made a difference, and gave me hope to continue. Consequently, this current explanation of the recovery is making so much sense. I am beginning to truly believe recovery is possible, but it will take more time than expected. Keep up the good work.

i am at stage five after my
stroke
and
it still takes SO much energy to do all this. i tire so easily now

[mikew]

Just found your videos. 4 weeks post 3 strokes you have given me more information in a couple of videos than I got in the hospital and the VA. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. thank you

Stroke survivor since November 11 2023. It’s a daily struggle for sure. In my personal case my left side was affected and my leg is definitely coming along better than my arm. But prayer and determination and therapy will get me through the process. Great video. Very interesting. Thank you

[theresawong]

I had a stroke in March last year
Thank you for this video. It gives me hope.

[walkingthrulife]

Thanks for this, Im a stroke survivor for 5 years this will help in understanding my body.

[johnspisak]

You give me hope, which I translate to determination, which always leads to progress. You inspire me. Thank you.

[trishc]

This was profoundly helpful. I had a severe stroke but have learned to walk; as for my affected arm I have little hope but watching this video helped me recognise signs of progress

[andreagerber]

Thank you! Going to look at ALL your videos, my young husband just had a stroke and I am his main advocate and in-home rehab guide. I need as much solid advice I can get!

[Jordanredux]

This is a very important part of stroke recovery and I am grateful that you're addressing it

[laurieborgers]

You are so good at explaining things! And I like learning from your videos. I am getting good results by understanding more about ways to heal what is broken in me. I'd like to thank Baguaengland for bringing up your neurofatigue videos, I went and watched them and learned more. Best to others who are on their own healing journeys.

[GaryEnglish-ks]

Excellent video. You are the first (and seemingly only) person/therapist on the web to cover the various stages. You give hope when others leave one feeling confused and frustrated. Now at least, I know that my spasticity will eventually go.
