Thank you immensely! Had a left cerebellar infarct at age 49, in my sleep, and upon waking had no idea what was happening. Terrifying. I am what I would call miraculous recovery. "No cause" was specified. I did have a wonderful stroke team and many cts and mris. I wasn't told til day 2 in hospital what had happened to me, that the stroke occurred in my sleep and woke to the severe symptoms. I am so lucky to have gotten a bed on the stroke floor under the care of a specialist. Symptoms were very similar. Thank you SO much for this discussion. Not talking about it is a huge problem, and dismissing the aftermath is common. Thank you, again, this is very validating and helpful.

Thanks Beverly. Glad to have you here.

Wow, this is so much like my own situation; Had a massive stroke in my cerebellum, May 2020, 58 years old, normal blood pressure, happened at night, didn’t get properly diagnosed for 12+ hours due to uncommon/atypical presentation. Hospital staff were , in my estimation, Ill-prepared to provide the necessary care in the critical time period. I think it was a combination of incompetence and laziness on the part of ER staff. I had to finally ask a nurse if it could be a stroke before I got the CT scan! Ugh… 3 and-a-half years and still recovering albeit very slowly.

Yours experience at hospital unfortunately is a common experience among stroke survivors. Thanks for your comment. Recovery is ongoing after 11 years for me.

My brother 45 years old got right cerebellum stroke 5 days ago. This podcast really helped to understand. Still searching for the right treatment for him.

Wish him well for me. Best of luck with your search.

Thank you for your video. I am recovering from a left cerebella stroke, age 52. I have minimal symptoms but it does take an emotional toll. It affected my balance leaning and falling to the right hand side and some blurry vision. I am trying to keep occupied and building my stamina and strength up daily. The most important thing is to never give up and focus on the positives 👏😍

Thanks Joseph, I feel like he ready to show another side of him now that he has had a significant incident that has made him reevaluate the things that are important.
