Cerebellar stroke experience, treatment, recovery

Hello everyone, My husband and I are very new to this... he is 56yrs old and in great health but thursday at 1am he ready to punch the time clock at work... he had felt absolutely fine... when he stood up he felt week on his right side and nauseated my son in helped him to the car but he could hardly walk so he took him to er ... by the time he got there he could not open his eyes or even move without throwing up...his eyes would not focus they took his vitals and said it was vertigo and that his vitals were fine... they were very busy so they parked us in a room... a couple hours later we saw the doctor he took a preliminary Ct scan and an MRI and checked his heart....they were still calling it vertigo but since nothing was helping him to stop throwing up they said they would admit him and preform ultrasounds on his neck and heart and sent him for another more detailed MRI... the next day they told us it had been a cerebral stroke... we are lucky..his left side is weak, he has problems writing and he talks with a very slight mumble if he is sitting in bed talking to you it is very difficult to tell that anything is wrong... However he has no balance and at this time cannot even use the walker...this is very new..but we have no insurance so they are talking about sending him home as soon as I can get a ramp for the home... they also said we would get OT and PT visits at least once a week... we know we are lucky but at this point we are so overwhelmed and lost in the whole process...any advice is welcome

I know it’s kind of crazy to “report” what would seem insignificant to a lot of folks but to me it was like a hot air balloon ride! I felt now “free”! I praise God for services available like pickup for groceries! I left my review and explained it to them how important it is to people who are unable to do shopping! Baby steps!!

I had my stroke Dec. 3, 2016. I got help quick but left side was impaired ( limp & 30% usage in my left hand/shoulder). What about Stem Cell Development? Any good news you heard about this field for Stroke victims?

My doctor gave me a prescription for Lorazepam 1 mg when the anxiety gets too much for me. It helps with nausea as much as Zofran did for me. A few months after my basilar artery stroke in Sept 2024 I managed to get shingles then a difficult bronchial infection and lastly I have developed rheumatoid arthritis. So now I get to be on steroids for who knows how long. I'm certain the stroke had something to do with facilitating the later illnesses, all immune deficiency related. I can't imagine having a busy lifestyle like yours; you must be a lot younger than me! Are you putting too much stress on yourself? Maybe it's time for you to slow down a little? A stroke is nothing to be casual about because one stroke may lead to another one someday if you don't take precautions now. Strokes don't seem to care about your age. Just speaking from experience.

I was also in my 40’s when I had my Aneurysm it’s a blessing to have survived it’s nice to meet you. I do have a couple deficiencies that I’m trying to cope withbutI’m not giving up.

My Stroke was about two years ago, I had no or little symptoms at the time, except that I suddenly was very dizzy and my Eyes didn’t go where I wanted them to go ... today was an especially bad day, I had to leave a card store where I looked for cards, I got nauseous and dizzy, barely made it out of the store ... anyone else with those Issues .?
