New Sign of Stroke-You can save a life

Those are very helpful tips. My father suffered from a mild stroke a few years ago. His left side was affected but due to exercise and believe it or not, taking herbal medicines including eating raw plants, he has somehow revived his mobility and is healthier than those who are younger than he is. I think, once a person suffered from this, he should be more careful with his health and cut off all bad habits. Therapy also plays an important part. Although, this can be expensive, there are stuff that you can do at home and doesn't require a professional therapist.

These are nice tips and could definitely save lives. I've had 2 confirmed mild strokes and I experienced 3 symptoms on your list (except the stuttering. I was able speak straight somehow). My left side was affected and I had a weak left arm and leg. I was able to recover by exercising. My strength is now at a 100% on both side. I definitely agree with you that you need to bring the patient immediately to the hospital. Those symptoms may lead to a much dangerous conditions such as a full-blown stroke.

Thanks for the usefull tips. I have a lot of friends and I suppose to try on them. If found any one I can tell you about then. Thnks!

Oh they have a nmenonic on this i think it is FAST. F stands for FACE – ask the person to smile. Look if there is something wrong with her or his facial muscles. A for ARMS – ask the person to raise both arms. Look if one arm is drifting downward, if it does, proceed to S for SPEECH – ask the person to repeat a simple sentence Can the person repeat the sentence correctly or is it slurry? and T for TIME – those symptoms - F-A-S, time is important. Call 9-1-1 immediately.

Wow! This is cool info to have. My father in law has recently had a series of mini strokes and has early stages of dementia because of it. He is not getting better. He has good days and bad days. He recently wrote us a Thank you letter after Christmas and it was rather hard to follow. His hand writing is worsening too. I think coming back from a stroke has a lot to do with how much damage was done to the body. Also the age of the patient is important too.

Your research is good. And it is true. I am sorta a stroke survivor or still a patient. But I persist that am okay and I am normal like other normal kids. I look like a normal 22 years old female, working, walking, the mobility is normal well kinda normal though. I look normal to anyone who haven't got a clue to what i had. I had that stroke in the young. It happened a year ago. I had physical therapy to gain my balance and strength back. I had anti conversant pills for a sudden seizure. I was in the ICU luckily for just 6 days and I am not planning to go back there. I had CT scans and MRI's and the freaking old style andiogram. Most of the "classmates" (i call my co patients during PT sessions classmates) still struggle to gain back what stroke impaired them. Some of them have great hopes towards recovery and some just give up. Its all about the patients strong will and the families support to get that 100% recovery.
