Hello all. First time posting since I had my cerebellar stroke. I had my stroke on 12/29/15 when I was 40. I was at work and out of nowhere I had the worst headache imaginable. At first I thought I was dehydrated or hadn't had enough coffee. I would tilt my head slightly and it would cause me to vomit. After about an hour of thinking I just had a bad migrane I told my manager I had to go home.They brought me to the office and held me there for a couple of hours while a supervisor okayed me to go home. My company drove me home as I couldn't drive. When I got home my wife gave me two Excedrin migraines. I layed on my couch but every time I moved my head I ran to the bathroom to vomit. After over a day in bed my wife took me to the emergency room where they found I had a massive cerebellar stroke on the right side. I spent 6 days at the hospital 5 of which were in the ICU.On my last day they did a TEE test and found a PFO in my heart. I had my PFO closed May of 2018. Since my stroke I never really fully recovered. I still get very big dizzy spells,headaches everyday,I even have a hard time watching fast moving movies or credits. I went for vestibular physical therapy but it really didnt work for me. I have balance issues especially in the dark. I went back to work 3 months after my stroke. I worked for two years after but my residual effects seem to always be with me. My job is outdoors,balancing on steps,walking uneven surfaces. Before my stroke I could work 16 hours without issues. Now I cant make it through 8 hours. Long first post and I appreciate all the good news from people still recovering.
