Stroke Support Group

A stroke is an acute neurologic injury where the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot in the artery or if the artery bursts. The brain perfused by that artery no longer receiving oxygen carried by the blood and dying with cessation of function from that part of the brain.

Since my stroke I now suffer from migraines, which become so bad that my left side goes numb again as if I had a stroke. I have been hospitalized repeatedly and they just say im doing to much. Anyone else have these isues?

I don't have any advice, I'm still learning about strokes myself, but just wanted to say keep checking in with your doctors because headaches/migraines can be serious. Take care and I hope/pray you get some answers soon.

Like Demie said - keep checking with ur doctors; I myself have been having headches also, but not too bad. Maybe we'll find out something soon! I'll be praying for me and u both! I think Demie's right; we are all still learning so much about stroke; I know I am. Good luck to u both!!!

I had the same problem for a long time. Here are a few tricks...
avoid sodiom, frozen dinners, premade meals, and caffine. Also, if you can, take a gentle walk each day. Get some nice fresh air...if in a cold town, go to the mall..it works! Also, if you have a lot to think about, keep a notepad near and pen. Just dot the info you need and let it be from your mind so you an be more comfortable. My stroke was over 18 years ago. Still paralized and learning disabilies of many. We find tricks to live more comfortablely! I hope this can ease your mindgrains hon.
