Hello all. I am surprised I found this group! I am sorry to hear so many of you have experienced this kind of stroke! I am on here for my sake as much as my dads....cerebellar stroke survivor. He has a history of TIA last year and not one but two cerebellar strokes two weeks apart last one occurring two weeks ago. He is a spitting image of healthy. Only risk factors is PFO which will be closed in a week or so. Sooo hard to understand that someone so health can go through this, even for me as a healthcare provider! His main symptom is severe vertigo and nausea.....he still cannot turn abruptly or make sudden movements and moves and walks fairly slowly. He’s finally agreed to do some physical therapy, but those of you with severe vertigo as a symptoms, does it get better?! So hard to watch him struggle 🙁

How long ago was your fathers stroke? If you don’t mind me asking, how old is he. I’m 57 and had my stroke in August, the first month I the vertigo was real bothersome, I really didn’t like riding in a car or even standing up to fast. I was a very active person. Backpacking, cycling and all around outdoor guy. I’ve just now started back up with my personal trainer and we have been working a lot on balance which has helped a whole lot.

Keep the faith, and one day at a time.
