Cerebellar Stroke - experience/treatment/recovery

I am 49 and at 47 I had my first cerebellar stroke. I am interested if anyone has similar issues. I have lots of issues, and will share if you want, but I have always had speech difficulties. The weird issue with me is that first thing in the morning or after a quick nap I have no speech issues, and sound like normal me, but as soon as I start to do something or focus or get anxious in any way or overwhelmed or multitask or focus on something, my speech will go "off" and I become so bad I can't say a word or my tongue and jaws will not make the words and I sound stupid. They are calling it dysarthric speech. It just doesn't make sense. I am so blessed so I hate to complain but I have wanted to reach out for a long time and just didn't. Can anyone help?
Blessings
Barbara

Hi Barbara. I had a the same type of stroke a couple of years ago. I experience similar challenges to this day with my speech when things get mentally tough at work. It never seems to happen outside of work. I don't think my speech challenges get as bad as yours though by the sounds of your post. My job in general requires a lot of problem solving and by Thursday, I am a bit fried and find I have trouble pronouncing certain words. I can get most words out, just a few syllables I struggle with mostly. The more I think about getting the words out when I talk, the worse it seems to get. I don't seem to have these challenges when I am away from the work environment.
BTW, don't feel like your complaining, your in the right place to explain what you are feeling and ask questions!
My first stroke....are you wanting another???
I had my only stroke in November ‘18. Dragged my foot to the door after waking from an incredibly bad nightmare. Left arm tight against my chest, drooling.
Some one was knocking on my door and wouldn’t stop. The bug man prevented me from being full on paralyzed. God bless him.
No one would be able to tell I had a stroke today.
I had another mini stroke in March.
I miss my brain cells, the ones that told me where the letters on a keyboard or how to access my memory banks.
I also have multiple sclerosis so these challenges could be from that also.
All in all, I CHOOSE TO LEAD A TRIUMPHANT LIFE.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.

Also the stroke was right cerebellar.
