Hi @acoylenp01, my husband had an ischemic stroke in the cerebellum 1.5years ago. He was 52 and seemingly healthy. Overnight it all changed, and I know how it feels!

It does get better. He was very down and angry for many months after the stroke. It was a turbulent time to weather through! But he was also determined to improve his condition, so he changed his eating habits, did more physical activity and challenged himself each day to retrain his brain. His ataxia is now completely gone, he cycles to and from work, swims and runs regularly. His calm, laid-back temperament is also back. The only issue remaining I would say is the insomnia... he continues to suffer from poor sleep. But he's come so far and I'm sure that little by little, it will also get better for you.

Sending you a big hug.

Thank you so much! I am particularly troubled by the changes this has brought to the lives of my husband and my three adult children - sounds like you were very instrumental in your husband’s recovery. I could not imagine being able to do any of those activities but I’m inspired and hopeful! Thanks for sharing, it’s so nice to meet you 🙂
