    Thank you so much Dr. Sullivan! I am recovering from a cerebellar stroke. What you describe in this video is exactly what I have experienced. It’s nice to have it explained and to understand how everything fits together. Im only 42 and in great health. Recovery is going good. Hoping whatever caused it can be fixed. Thank you for this informative video.

    2.5 years out after a left Cerebellar stroke. I had 2 weeks of inpatient rehab then 6 weeks outpatient and was walking independently by the end of that. I was still a little unsteady gait when looking one direction- I veered in that direction. After 18 months I asked for vestibular therapy and did that for 6 weeks and I feel it did help. Informative lecture since my neurologist told my husband when I was still on walker, how long til I would be back to normal. His response was never- that part of my brain was “dead”. Now Im driving, very minimal unsteady gait. Mainly looking up or down or side to side too fast- I get dizzy. Glad to know I will continue to get better! Thanks!

    Just had a Brain MRI that showed " multiple chronic cerebellar infarcts". I have been battling to get any medical professional to actually do something. I luckily have great insurance and finally got the MRI after the ENT told me "It is not your ears, it is your Brain!" I lost 58% of my hearing. Everything sounds like I am underwater and muffled. I have cervical stenosis in all vertebrae with cord compression. I have a history years ago of an MRI with MRA that showed an incomplete circle of wills, hypoplastic transverse sinus, and an avm behind one eye. I asked to have another study of the vessels done because of my insanely high BP and now the dizziness and vertigo. They did a regular MRI but refused to do the arteriogram with it while I was out. You mention a team approach? Right. In reality ( especially in the Northwest) that is not happening. As a pt that really DOES have something wrong, you have to PUSH and FIGHT to get them to do anything. Thank you for your informative video. God Bless You.

    I am so moved and inspired by your lecture! Today I had a conversation with the specialist who told me that I did have a cerebellar stroke based on my CT scan results. I had an absolutely horrible episode of my life that started on January 5th with all the symptoms you have described here: horrible vertigo (helicopters), violent vomiting, headache, speech impairment, coordination of limbs impairment. The only "classical" symptom of a stroke that was not present according to an emergency team that arrived to my place - I did not have droopy face...So, they thought I simply had a high blood pressure and migraine. They gave me a gravel shot so I could keep down blood pressure medication...My symptoms of vertigo and severe headache lasted for 2 weeks. I insisted on testing for stroke, as my family doctor thought I was too young for it, I also started taking 1 aspirin a day on the 2nd day of the episode, as I had a suspicion that was not a migraine. I am having trouble with finding words now, short-term memory, concentration, I am bumping into things with my left shoulder, I drop or knock things, which is not normal for me at all, and there has been change in my personality...This morning I am going for an MRI. Please keep sharing your knowledge. I am wishing you strong health and happy life!

    I got miss diagnosed 4 months ago. I am 53. I had dizzy and vertigo symptoms and low blood pressure. I also developed tinnitus which i still have 4 months later. I was taken to hospital and got told i had Labrynthitis. I was sent home without an MRI being done as one Dr booked me in for one whilst in hospital only to get it cancelled by another Dr. It was only when i got refered to an ENT specialist 6 weeks ago that he got me to have an MRI scan that they found a small stroke on the left of my cerrebellar. I have mainly had balance problems but they are slowly improving😊 They are doing lots more tests on my heart to see if they can find out why i had it and i have been prescribed medication. I was very lucky that it was not a lot worse but it has been a very traumatic time but you can improve over time and work. I found loads of balance exercises on KZread which have helped loads. Also get out and walk if possible. Best treatment you can do ❤

    I am 63 and had a left cerebellar stroke in January 2024. I lost control of the left side of my body. I had double vision as well. Within 20 minutes I was in the emergency room and lost ability to make sense. Slurred language. After about 12 hours I could talk again and after that my vision was restored. I am very fit and was preparing for a weight lifting bikini contest. 10 days later I was back in the gym. Working on my fine motor skills was challenging. Balance continues to be a challenge. The part where you were talking about the eye head turning was spot on for me!! What more can I be doing? Going shopping is scary by myself. Being in large rooms is tricky and scary. It almost feels like I will be passing out. Please let me know how I can contact you and what more I can do!

    I've had a problem with denial, because I was bitten by a tick, and the neurologists couldn't find a stroke. but two years later I was told why it didn't show up. so im just now after two years accepting that I did have a stroke, and after watching many videos on the cerebellum stroke , I now remember having an extremely bad headline, so I think that's when it happened. I had speach therapy, and physical therapy several times. and have been recovering slowly, but still have a ways to go with speach and motor skills. but I have never completely lost hope, but have went through lots of emotions. I'm sure I would have never came this far without God, I've leaned on him and cried out too him more times THAN I CAN COUNT . I think the hardest part is speaking and communicating with family and friends, most never call me anymore and it makes me sad.

    Hi great video. I had a cerebellar stroke on the 2nd Feb 2018. I had a headache (Not had one before) difficult to get my head up and limbs not in control. Ct scan did not show clot , but MRI showed clot on right side cerebellar. Right limbs had issues with movement . 27th March balance and running 95% back, learning to write and as you said right arm is jerky. Around mid March had sudden crying and sometimes laughing. I have labelled this emotion 2 (Uncontrollable emotion) . Normal emotion after a stroke I understand. By talking about emotion 2 , it helps. You video helped . Note the reason for the stroke is due to sticky blood (APS) . I am doing rehab for physical issues and trying problem solving which causes head to be tight. Thanks again , based in UK aged 53

I've always been the rock..constantly apologizing is becoming a habit..your symptoms are similar..... the tightness was happening before...but the stroke is a nightmare that has left me like a lion ready to pounce...i am no longer submissive. It felt sooo hard to hang on from the magnetic force per se that was spinning and sucking out my very soul backwards forcing me to scream with frozen veins and nausea....treated for vertigo..missed out almost 6 hours for needle ..site inoperable. 53.yrs. no more visses 🍸hope you keep a journal 😇

    This is a wonderful and informative video. Like many of the posts here, I too suffered a cerebellar stroke. Was a young, healthy and fit guy but had a hole in my heart. Woke up with terrible headache and super dizzy. Left cerebellum was affected and I can relate to the cognitive difficulties. Neurologist said these issues are likely due to anxiety as the cerebellum isn't associated with cognition. Through videos like this and other research we understand much more now. Best wishes to all those recovering, anything is possible!! Tom, 36, Ireland

    Hello, I'm currently in the hospital in okinawa while in vacation visiting my daughter and fiance, surprisingly to me, I had a stroke in the cerebellum, and it happened as you mentioned thinking it was a mixture of Melatonin with rice wine ( I never drink) so I thought that was what it was happening to me finally the pain became unbelievable and I was transported to a military base hospital where I had the biggest scare of my life, talking about draining my brain after the scan and resuscitation permission, also the fact that I am a foreigner weather ir not they can help me there due to the limitations if the hospital, and also if any hospital in japan will take my case. There was even talked about transporting me to Hawaii in a helicopter to a better navy hospital there if they would not take me here in Okinawa. I finally was accepted in a hospital where they continue running test and determined that surgery is not necessary. Unable to communicate due to the barriers of language and uncertain of my future They say I can not flight back home I'm from California They say I need therapy......... I may not be able to walk properly, etc, etc.......... Still as I write this going through the whole process It's been scary, uncertain, but I am assuming grateful for being able to write this...... for being alive..... .Thank you, and I will write again.

    I learned more viewing this video today than I learned from my four neurologists & neuro surgeon. At age 55, I had a left anterior cerebellar stroke diagnosed in the ER in Nov 2020 after several weeks of sharing my concerns with PCP of ataxia, balance issues, falling, spatial concerns, gait abnormality, peripheral vision reactions, headaches, dizziness, vertigo, speech fragmentation, severe mood swings, memory and confusion, cognition concerns, & myotis. After months of appts with specialists was also diagnosed with anti phospholipid syndrome, C5&6 bulging disks & L3 compression fracture from falls, cervical hemangioblastoma, mild spinal stenosis, cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome, PTSD, & 2 additional cerebellar lesions, but not coagulation. It was scary, frustrating and life changing. Advocating for yourself when experiencing these limitations is not easy & the disability process is super frustrating. I’m grateful I found your videos. Thank you!

    My wife of only 3 months suffered a cerebellar stroke almost a year ago, it was a dual stroke (both the left and right side impacted), she has accomplished so much since the stroke..I am so proud of her. She went to all her appointments (OT/PT, Vision, Stroke Doctor and therapy), she was determined to get back to the person she was before the stroke. My wife had the support of family and friends, myself, my sister and my mother took her to appointments so that she could focus on herself getting better. My wife at times will cry, get very upset for no reason, she takes a nap almost daily. She feels bad because of it, I know she needs to do a brain dump each day to allow herself to not be overloaded, I just want her to be herself and not worry about anything. She has been back to work for almost 2 months, she started part for a month, she struggles some days, most are good. She is amazing, never giving up, continuing the fight back and be herself again. Thank you for the sharing this video, her doctor said the same things you said, you confirmed so much in the video. We do not know what caused the stroke, A-fib is possible, she has a heat monitor in her chest now, only 1 A-fib has happened since the stroke. Thanks again for sharing.

Until hearing this, I had never connected the off-set vision with my stroke. My eye doctor was suggesting PRISM glasses, but I had never gotten them. I can certainly vouch for the emotion. I can make myself cry now, and movies and TV shows can make me cry. Thank you, and I will now subscribe.

    Patience and understanding from yourself and your family! I suffered 3 cerebellar strokes, the last 2, 14 years ago this month. They were multi-focal and effected the posterior region of both sides of my cerebellum. I had many symptoms that were mentioned by the doctor. I made vast improvements for the first 6 months, then improvements slowed down but continued for several years and either went away or I learned to adapt to them. Walking improved quickly within 6 months. I went from wheelchair to walker, then to rollator, next cane, and finally unaided most of the time. Uneven walking surfaces and when I am tired make my balance issues worse to this very day. My balance and dizziness issues went away within several months when seated while riding in a wheelchair or electric mobility cart, driving a car and even my motorcycle. I think the dizziness occurred do to my visual problems like tunnel vision and loss of peripheral vision that improved over time. My tunnel vision went away after about a month. I could only walk a few feet, with my legs wide spread wide apart at first. I had some Nordic type walking/hiking poles that I took out from my closet and practiced walking with. I quickly made a few hundred feet to the mailbox and back. Then around the block, eventually would walk for an hour every night. Sometimes past the hospital where I was treated. I would stop and look up at my old room reflecting upon, and thankful for how far I had come. I still walk using my "ski poles." The constant repetative movement seemed to improve my balance and confidence while walking! I am still amazed at how the average person walks here and there so smoothly and effortlessly! Swimming and walking in a swimming pool was also of great benefit to me! I felt like "normal" in the water and didn't have to worry about balance and the weakness that effected both sides of my body. As I improved, so did/does my happiness! My daughter turned 3 the month after my stroked. She taught me how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to laugh and act silly again! She taught me how to interact with people, with whom I wanted very little to do with initially! I learned to avoid people that acted like I only had something as simple as a cold and to "get over it already!" Surround yourself with positive people that love, understand, and support you. Find a hobby or activity that you enjoy doing. It will help with mental and depending on the activity, maybe even physical rehab! My strokes may have slowed me down for a while, but only temporarily! I am now stronger and better in many ways than ever! But I probably will never become a tightrope walker... good excuse, because I don't like heights! Good luck to you and the other stroke patients and family here! Stay healthy and strong!

    David Hamilton Thank you so much for sharing as I recently had a set back. It was 3 months ago since I had my stroke and I was seeing the silver lining because o moved on to 5th week without a cane. Then I had a long day, car ride, Dept stores and I was dizzy for a week and still not back to where I was at. This is the strangest thing. My doctors had such confidence that I can go back to work in 6 months since my stroke. I still can’t drive a car not alone work as a nurse saving lives. I was saddened to know if I could hike and walk for long periods again. Thanks for sharing the water experience, I do feel good in a pool and drove a wave runner when I was feeling really good a month ago. Now I am afraid to work my brain too much

    I am so sorry. You will get better. Make sure you’ve got some ondansetron. That did help me. Also, my dizziness was always worse when I was tired. I got tired from everything I did, so sleeping a lot and scheduling rest time is the way to go. I literally wasn’t even able to walk by myself and now I can go hiking. Give yourself time and be patient. Do your pt and only think pleasant thoughts if you can. Even stress made me dizzy

    I have to say I thought I had vertigo. It just got steadlily worse. My husband after a week dragged me to urgent care. Hillsboro Healthcare Center in Or. They performed 3 CT Scans with and without contrast. They also did an MRI an echo cardiogram and an ekg. Also an xray. They did narrow it down to a left cellebellum stroke. My heart is good so it didn't start there. They most likely think it was caused by chronic hypertension. I'm right handed so I'm very fortunate it wasn't worse. I don't have slurred speech just a bit woobly on my left side. Thank you for this video it explains a lot.

    This is the first time I see this video I want to share it with my sister since she doesn’t believe me how I feel. I had a PICA Cellebeller Stroke right side on 2019 and my 2nd Stroke was a left frontal lobe stroke. I get really bad pressure on my top of my right side of head or the front of my forehead down to the back of my right side neck kind of forming a 7 I get nauseated very often and dizzy also lose my balance if I’m walking with my cane now use to be in a wheelchair but really have to concentrate to walk but once someone happens to callls me and I happen to turn I lose my balance quickly the smell of the food at times makes me nauseated as well and I hear like bees squirming inside my brain or my head. I’m not sure if that’s the way you spell that word but I’m glad I found this video. I’m gonna start following you too so I can get some tips from you or from other people. And I used to be very healthy athletic I would lift weights was a bodybuilder I use to have a very muscular body would lift 190 pounds bench press would run every day. I’m 5’1 and I weigh 126 pounds and I’m 57 years old Now I lost all my muscle mass I’m lucky if I lift 2 pounds I’m able to sit straight before I use slide too the side my vision is so weird I see the cars in the road like if they coming towards me it’s so very hard to multitask. It’s so hard to spell words to add. I don’t even know how to give when they’re giving me my change when I’m buying something so I have to count it over and over I can’t. I cry and get depressed too much with any little thing. I just isolate myself in the house. I did therapy for the longest time. But if you see me, I look normal but if you see me walking, I look so different only wear sneakers. I used to wear a 6 inch heels all the time. I don’t even like to open my closet and see my shoes. I can’t wear them anymore I get so sad all the time I know that I do like I’m doing right now. I just do run on sentences on without any punctuation I don’t know how to spell I used to be very smart, especially mathematics I could easily do everything in my head now I can’t. I’m still learning how to read write walk drive . On this coming Friday 4/19/24 I will have a procedure done PFO closure because I have a positive bubble test. My cardiologist think that’s why I had the strokes. The doctor even said that might stop my headaches. My neurologist gave me medication for migraines. I don’t have migraines never have my sister does. I know how she gets . Many people misinterpret my situation.

    Thank you so much for your clear explanations and clarity. I just had a cerebellar stroke 2 and a half weeks ago. I was misdiagnosed in the first hospital and discharged with no care, although I couldn’t stand, speak or open my eyes for more than a few seconds. I went to a hospital near my house where they gave me an MRI and they were able to explain what I was going through. They still don’t know what caused it, but after such a short time, I am speaking and walking on my own. My emotions are all over the place, but I have a tremendous support system who help me get through the rough patches. I just want to get back to normal and avoid what caused it or implement the changes that are necessary to avoid it from happening again. It’s super frustrating doing the types of exercises my 4 year old is doing like practice writing my alphabet. Finding the right words to explain myself, or playing with my kids as I am used to is what I am striving for, and obviously getting back to work to support my family are my needs. Will I get there?

I feel like I have episodes that resemble something like a seizure or TIA . I suspect whatever these cognitively disabling episodes actually are have to do with my cerebellar herniation.

    by far the most dangerous trigger for me is stress. knocks me down hard, like getting hit in the back of the head with a shovel. I'm astonished to NOT hear about this issue, and yet not surrprised. clinicians in this field are not being properly instructed because the goal of those orchestrating the system is to have to patient slaughtered off by way of homelessness if not criminalized and exploited as fodder for violent gangs. this society is all about the violence. and nothing but the violence.
