Neurofatigue After Stroke - What It Is And Tips To Manage It

[@joycezaid3909]

I had that while in rehab; even getting out of bed and eating a meal, or showering & putting on clothes wiped me out. My whole body would be heavy. When I would go home to visit, my husband would ask me why I breathe hard from the car to inside the house? He would sometimes say I am not doing enough exercise, and to do more. I finally told him that this experience has been the most difficult of my life, and if he couldn't be supportive, I WILL find someone else to spend time with, and I say this to the other people in my life who think I'm not doing enough to "GET BETTER"!!! That's more tiring than the stroke itself!!!

[@melissadepew-porras5253]

So very well said

[@akuerika4508]

My sister once asked me why I breathe so hard. I told her I was tired can't they just see it. Annoying. I'm feeling depressed now cos I lost my apartment. It was demolished while I was in the hospital. The thought of that along is draining. Right now squatting in a tiny space with a friend and it's so tiring. Huh

[@derekterrell3465]

I feel you , honestly sometimes I just hope I don't wake up, I'm not scared to die, people don't understand at all, I also hate when my wife is like your doing so great when It's taking everything I got just to take a couple steps

[@normanmacfarlane6724]

I totally understand where you are coming from. I admire that you had the strength and insight to say to your husband that you will find someone who understands and supports you. I , on the other hand , put the blame on me and I start to become incredibly more depressed. Thank you for your insight and wisdom 😂❤

I had my stroke on August 13, 2024. It’s now December thankful that I’m able to walk, run, talk. But today is one of them days where it hits me and I fall into this dark hole . If you’re reading this nvr give up keep pushing 😢 💪

[@WildWestRosie]

Oddly, I've found myself really tired, and I struggle to do more, but my children are telling me to chill and take it easy. But I've been hard on myself because I can't do what I feel I SHOULD be able to do. In other words, I'm harder on myself than others are on me. Thank you for letting all of us know that what we're feeling is normal and OK.

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

Thank you for this. I had my stroke January 2, 2024 and while my physical recovery has been remarkable, I’m dealing with severe fatigue. Add agoraphobia that I’ve been dealing with for a couple of years now and going out and doing something like grocery shopping or appointments is utterly exhausting. I do take two naps a day and if I miss one or take it later than usual I feel it for days afterwards. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one and it’s completely normal. Thankfully I live alone so if I ignore a chore or find I’m too tired to shower for a couple of days it doesn’t impact anyone else.

Hi Math- that’s interesting… My neurofatigue came 10 or 11 months after my last stroke. It seems to have occurred once I started to add weightlifting to my exercise routine. xo

[@krist5625]

I had a stroke at the beginning of January 2024 and most days I still don't have energy to do daily chores. Some days I barely have the energy to do something simple like taking a shower. Yet other days I feel almost normal for a few hours, then the exhaustion hits. It's tiring feeling so dang exhausted pretty much every day. At least now I know there's a term for it.

[@harley8680]

Thank you for sharing more information on this. I am 9.5 years out from having an acute stroke (Ischemic) in the pons of my brain at age 50. I have foot drop and that is usually when I know (the foot will start dragging) before it hits really bad. I have had problems with neuro fatigue on and off for those years but usually big social events (where there is lots of talking in the room) and or when I have done many activities. My husband can usually recognize first when it is about to come on. Being in cement is a perfect description. Everything goes, my speech, physical abilities etc. It is frightening. As of late it seems to be coming on more. My adult children are probably the ones that do not understand why I do not work although my daughter saw neuro fatigue hit me on Christmas Eve and I think she may finally understand.

[@TravisS-h3i]

Thank you for a great video. It really hit home. 2 years post stroke ( actually had 2). Fatigue is the main problem I deal with every day. I also have chronic vertigo. Some days it's disabling. 3 things I have noticed that help me are, proper sleep, proper nutrition, and the right amount of exercise or activity. Spacing out tasks and frequent rest is the key for me. I listen to my body. When it says, rest, I rest. A short rest will give me the energy to finish the task. If I don't accomplish everything, oh well, there is always tomorrow.

[@phillipcoley2842]

Your situation sounds like my wife she had a stroke 28 months ago and another one two years ago she’s been paralyzed since but within the past few days she has got the feeling back on her left side now we just don’t know what to expect because at the moment she still cannot control the left side did you go through any of this and if so how and what to expect.

You hit this subject right on the spot! Because my family is exactly thinking this of me!

Very useful information , thank you very much My husband who had stroke 2 years back, has lack of initiative to try to do some things on his own, he expects someone to help him out .I wanted him to become independent (not fully ) like prior to stroke,if I insist he gets angry Please give me some tips to help him to do his routine things on his own Secondly , he is very comfortable doing exercise when therapist is there, but never tries on his own to perform any simple exercise .How to motivate him or make him understand that the more he does , the more he will regain or benefit from it . As a caretaker , I don't know how to handle this issue , it gives me a lot of mental stress. I will be really grateful if you help me out . Thank you

[@BrettELothrop]

Hi Ganesh- I once read that those that want 100% recovery must treat their rehab as a full-time job: 8 hours of sleep, an ambitious exercise/cardio routine, relaxation/meditation, nutrition, optimistic outlook, mental exercises to expand the mind… You have probably seen this list before. I have found no other substitute available in stroke recovery literature. Good luck.

Very affirming vid, thank you---especially that a) it (fatigue) exists; and, b) it's a uniquely fatiguing fatigue. I'm about 8 years from my thalamic, Left brain, right hemiplegic affected. Every day is a new day. I figure, if I wake up alive, excellent---I surely can go Bother. or Annoy Someone. THAT makes me happy! I found I had to learn to recognize I am fatigued even as I experienced Being fatigued---beyond exhausted--it's not even exhausted, it just IS Fatigue. I appreciate that makes no sense or may sound like Jabberwocky to anyone who hasn't experienced this fatigue in their marrow, but for those of us who have/do/are? It ain't no Joke. It's nice having the company of other people's reflections & comments with these vids---So helpful. Thanks.

[@grahampikevideos]

I have found aerobic exercise v helpful for energy, alertness and physical strength, power. I’m not saying this is right for everyone, we are all individuals as indeed, our stroke is individual. However, for me a visit to the gym really works and lasts for 2 or 3 days. Following the rule of ‘a change is as good as a rest’ during just an hour at the gym I spend a few minutes on a machine for my arm strength, change to legs, pop on the cycle for 10 mins. Then back to the arms and legs….keep changing don’t overdo one of them…. Then onto the cross trainer for 10 mins. I have to walk and bus it to and from the gym so need to factor in the energy for the journeys. The final thing I include throughout my hour is a few moments recovery here and there. Never drive myself to strain or pain. I do feel the aerobics on the cross trainer and bike help as they are getting the heart and lungs working, pumping the blood throughout the body and the brain where oxygen is needed. You know instinctively, what’s too much, your body tells you, I always stay within my limits as I find them growing.

Thank you for this video. I have been wondering what’s wrong with me since I had my stroke two years and 10 months ago. When I go to the grocery store with my husband, I really don’t feel well after being in the store only 10 or 15 minutes. Most of the time I’m slumped over the grocery cart and my head is in where you put a child in the cart. My husband hates it and he said people are staring at me, so I can’t see them because I am blind now. Not due to the stroke, but from diabetic retinopathy and other eye complications. Lately, the neural fatigue has been extremely difficult. I find myself sleeping most of the day and it is very hard to even get something for breakfast or lunch myself. Thank goodness my husband is on holidays for another week, so he usually gets my lunch for me. I find it so exhausting even to get a shower and sometimes I go days without doing that. Sometimes my best days are very early in the morning and I am able to get a shower. Most days by the time the rolls around I just want to sleep. Life is very hard for me now.

After a year of good progress, a year of leveling off with mild progress, I'm now fatigued most of the time. Just trying to function, let alone adding anything more is becoming concerning.

Thanks for letting me vent.

[@RocketGir1]

Thank you so much for posting a video about the bane of my existence! ;) I’ve been battling neurofatigue for 20 years. It sucks. I could run a marathon, but couldn’t tell my husband the cube root of 1000. It’s certainly humbling! Could you tell me a little bit about “exposure therapy”? I’ve heard of two other stroke survivors saying “Screw it, I’m going to a metal concert/going outside without both a hat and sunglasses/going to my daughter’s volleyball tournament until I start to improve.” So far, I’ve been limiting myself to sunglasses only (I’ve got severe photophobia) and attending stuff like her volleyball games - which, without fail, makes me cry. (It’s not sad; rather, it’s the noise that makes me cry. It’s not painful, but it is mortifying!) What do you think? Is this a viable thing to do? Will it start to help other stuff, like my fatigue? Did I wait too long? Should I have tried this 18 years ago? Love, the patient in the dark ;)

I had a AVM and in hospital for 3 months and can’t see half my vision. This happened 10 years ago and still feel lazy. Can I still have this? I never want to leave the house is that part of it?

[@ericanorton76]

I used to think it sounded like depression but I’m just not depressed so I didn’t understand why my body was acting that way.

How long can it last? I have days often, but I’m starting 3 rd year post stroke

[@lisarowe8763]

Can stress bring this on?

[@BrettELothrop]

Hi- I wondered about your question as well. My fatigue came 10 or 11 months after the last stroke when I began a weightlifting routine.

[@edobijwaard]

After 9 years i still feel fatigue all the day😢

[@charliewilson3528]

Is it the same as chronic fatigue syndrome? And my boss expects me to still do miracles at work. Even though, I'm not that guy anymore. What about oxygen supplements? Or therapy.

[@aceydoosee]

I think it’s similar, my neurologist has called it post stroke fatigue syndrome

[@chantalfaure7902]

Can you please let me know if it's possible to still have neuro fatigue after 1 and a half

[@aceydoosee]

I still have it and I’m almost 2 years post stroke

[@johnmccaffery1612]

I have it 4years post stroke

Good morning, Beautiful. Interesting ink 💖

Thanks so much! It's from my favorite movie, Howl's Moving Castle 😊

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@PostStrokeOrg Ah. Sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure. I'll have to check that out.

Love studio Ghibli too. 3 weeks after coming from 3 months rehab. I am better than i was by far, but hate that i will never be anything like i was, and that hurts because I was so busy in the past. ​@PostStrokeOrg

[@King_of_the_slums]

Is that Calcifer from Howl's moving castle on your arm?

[@rafaelmorales5646]

Is there any medicine for neurofatigue?

[@christinao8877]

Strokes are very misunderstood. Every one is different 😢
