Hi @hammondm99 It’s amazing you have come so far in your recovery. Glad to hear it. Keep being positive. I had a ruptured AVM effecting the cerebellum. I was told by my medical team that the same part of the brain gets effected when one drinks. I understand the difficulty in doing activities when the balance is off. I was not able to walk at first. Since then I constantly pushed myself to do exercises no matter how much dizziness it brought. I now can walk with a cane. I still have difficulty on uneven surfaces like the lawn, gravel, and dirt roads. Getting better has been a slow progress. It has now been over 3 years but I remain positive and keep trying. Basically I am learning on my own by trial and error. I was told by my medical team there are no answers because there are not many survivors. I gave up on asking so now I rely on myself to physically improve. I don’t think the doctors understand to help me. Thankfully you were healthy to be one of the survivors from your stroke. Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work, focus on the gains!

Congratulations for overcoming all that you have! Your hard work has sure paid off. Glad to hear from you. Keep up the positive attitude!

Hi AVMcerebellar- sounds like you and I had the same injury- I am inspired by your determination and courage- I want to fight my way back to “normalcy” - I have fallen twice and admit I am afraid now - I have no cognitive issues just extreme dizziness and imbalance- I look forward to any advice/suggestions you may have- thank you
