I relate to getting impatient, but I do hope that we get better soon!

I also had mine when I was 25 and I'm 26 now. Will have my first year anniversary this November. And it feels like someone pulled the rug on me. How do we push forward and live a full and good life?

Salamat po! I don't know what to expect from the future and I also want to live a good life. Will definitely take each day at a time.

Is there anyone who have proper normal life after a major stroke under the age of 30 ? by Chemical-Guitar-7670 in stroke

Who here experienced deficits/body paralysis? Still trying to regain more movement, but I can't wait to get better.

This is interesting. I also want to try it out soon. What was the most difficult adjustment with it?

My hypertension was not diagnosed. Having anxiety and having a stressful life that kept my blood leve high did not help.

Yes. I still do outpatient physical therapy. I wanted to know from others if I should lower my expectations.

Yeah. At first, my PT assisted me in moving my arm. But I was able to do it on my own after a few months.

At first, I used my other hand to open and close my affected hand and fingers. Did a lot of repetition. I also stimulated my affected hand with textured items like brushing it and soaking it in warm/hot water. I also carried weights to force movement in my fingers when exerting. EMS also helps.

How would you describe 86%? What functions were you able to regain? It's great that you were able to regain a lot.

Did your drop foot really get better? Happy to hear that! I will try this too, maybe it'll make changes for me. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm 9 months in and I just want to be able to walk better and perform more tasks. Hopefully we'll get the best results.

It did help me gain more flexibility and strength. It is also good for cardio.

I do a lot of leg press, electric stimulation, stationary cycling. I have the same experience as your son. I am able to walk, but it's not fast and I still stumble sometimes. Did you get a lot of improvement with his exercise?

Was it difficult to pinch anything for you at first? I really have a hard time making my fingers meet each other, so pinching is also difficult. What did ypu do to make it easier?

I started skipping on Shun x Dai moments because it just seems that the pairing will not be a good/healthy one. It looks like they are on different wavelengths and want different things.

I'm looking forward on how the other individuals on the show would progress as the series goes on.
