6 years post stroke and from day one I've worked my ass off. I also think that my age (38) at the time, and level of fitness helped immensely. Running and weight lifting was my world before my stroke occurred due to a PFO of the heart. I can imagine for someone elderly it would be very hard. Never give up. Respect from Australia 🇦🇺 🙌

Let’s agree to disagree. There’s no such thing as no cure. Beings are overcoming these conditions and dis-eases daily everywhere. Is it easy? NO! Is it possible? YES! The universe is LIMITLESS!! Where the mind goes, energy flows. Change your mind, change your life. People are coming out of their wheelchairs AFTER being told by professionals they’d never walk again. Healing is NEVER IMPOSSIBLE and it is my deepest intention to reach the heart of all who read this comment section….. KEEP GOING!! It’s going to phenomenally happen and whatever you’re going through is a REBIRTH so of course you won’t be the “same as before”…. YOU WILL BE BETTER!!! A baby doesn’t walk overnight. Travel these stages listening to your heart… it knows! I am sending infinite love, compassion, happiness, joy, and healing energy to all!💗💗💗

@@cookingwithmark2510 Yes love! The beginning is so challenging to the soul… but remember we are all extensions of source energy /spirit/infinite intelligence/universe/god (however it is identified = same) here in human form, therefore we have EVERYTHING within to heal ourselves! We are not separated from its power and strength! There’s a voice in your heart and there’s a voice in your head…. by all means listen to the one coming from your heart in order to reprogram the subconscious mind and thoughts that I am aware may be a little overwhelming. True healing comes from the spirit within us…. not a textbook/classroom! It’s challenging but remain faithful and lovingly speak to the parts of your physical body that has taken a turn. This is no coincidence… this is your soul’s assignment. You can choose to overcome or succumb to what spirit sees as temporary. One thing that is inevitable is change! NOTHING stays the same…. unless you choose to do so. Keep your faith alive and each day shall bring newness, even though it may be small, it’s HUGE!! Close your eyes and picture what you want…. create that reality in your deepest thoughts and desires…. after visualizing it, ask your body what it needs to get there. Trust and know your higher self will lead you! Listen to your heart… that’s where source god lives… within.💗

It's funny that she mentioned that at the end of the video, my doctor told me after 6 months of therapy to get used to my cane because I will be using it for the rest of my life, and when I asked when can I go back to lifting weights and exercising he said to forget about working out, and lifting weights that was the old me. The new me will walk with a cane for the rest of my life. He was so wrong, although I'm not a hundred percent I do walk without a cane and I do exercise and lift weights the only thing I can't do is run but I'm okay with that hopefully one day I'll get there.

Great & necessary video! 😎 I’ve tended to be pretty self-motivating & positive, but I’m not immune to down days. In fact, I’ve felt a little frustrated in the last few days. I’ve always loved a description I read by Paul Stoltz - using a mountain climbing metaphor - that there are 3 kinds of people: Quitters, Campers, & Climbers. Some people hit a difficult stretch and quit; others may go further, set up camp, and say that’s far enough (you mentioned this). But, others keep climbing! (Stoltz’ book is “Adversity Quotient.” I read it after it came out way back in 1996.) Thanks again!

Thank you! 2-5-12 was when I had my stroke. Almost ten years yay! I don’t have a specific therapy routine but I have had the mindset for a long time that everything is therapy. Much of my residual is around cognitive issues. Instructions logic impulsivity. Sequencing Etc. So everything is therapy or at least to an opportunity to hone my skills with every challenge life presents Part of that is to not get emotional when I can’t do something. . That can be a hard one. I try to keep at it until I can’t then ask for help. Current example. Dryer broke. I don’t have the cash on hand for another one. What else can I do? Get a clothes drying rack. I tried. Repeatedly for days tried to put it together. I was missing something but couldn’t figure it out. I finally caved and asked for help. Wasn’t easy for my brother in law either but he could finally do it. I had put a piece in tge wrong place. An important thing my last PT taught was that if I can’t do something yes try the “right” way first but also strategize other ways of accomplishing my goal. If you can’t get up off the floor is there something you czn use to help pull you up sort of thing How is “rehab” really defined? When you’re getting active therapy or after too? I was in the hospital for a month, transferred to z residential rehab for TBI facility for two months, Thdn Out pt for about 5 months when insurance cut me off dvdn though the therapists said I could still benefit. A few months later I joined a small exercise group at my old gym. I knew the trainer snd explained in detail my challenges. Did the group Znd then one on one on snd off for s year plus. Is all of that rehab or just shdn I was actually seeing therapists. Somewhere along the way I accepted that I would be working on improving (I hate the word recovery.) for the rest of my life so viewed it as a chronic illness. But I like your phrasing as a lifestyle. I think I’ll change my mindset to that Some of my physical stuff is that I have a constant buzzing in my leg and arm. It does change from time to time fire yo ice. Sensitive to little sensation. One therapist told me about “brushing” which I did for a long time. It helped a little over time I guess. Doctors shrug snd say my nerves are damaged but offer no help. My dexterity in my left hand is hit and miss. I do try to keep up with some of those techniques. Squeezing a tennis ball and such Everything can be therapy. My new thing is trying to equal out use of right and left leg. Like when I stand up (prompted by another one of your videos), mindset of it’s a life style, I will try to incorporate specific therapyish exercises dvery day, and my favorite “rule number one” (do not fall) still stands. Are things I will be more conscience of daily. And watch more of your videos Thanks For all of your information and thoughts. It’s helping me get back on track with actively doing things to improve rather than just responding to challenges in my life Oh yeah something you said. Things that you did before impact what you do now. I think that’s true brain issue or not. I thanks to my music teacher. Not musical don’t rmsvdn sing excrpt to my dog but love music so decided to take guitar lessons in my late 40s. Went in thinking Blues ended up. Doing classical guitar Learning how to read music and how to play pieces one note at a time impacted how I in my early 50s I learned how to exercise which helped. Me immensely with PT. (Helped that my first PT reminded me of and used some of the same motivational methods and my favorite and most effective personal trainer). Motivation. Not a general over all one but if there is something I want I push until I figure out how to get it. I wanted to move. I sold my house, moved across town, bought a house in another town 3 hours a way. Carrying boxes very slowly short distances does help improve balance. I don’t think I could have done that pre stroke. But because of my stroke z as Bd therapists I learned to keep at it and ask for help when I need it. I couldn’t read off of paper at the time. I made those real estate brokers znd lender read everything and answer my questions. I moved most of my boxes but hired z moving compsny for the big stuff z as Bd king move Did I say I love therapists? I do Thanks for getting me re f Ed ngzged in improving my life .

I'm 65 and had a stroke April 7 2020. It affected my right side. Numbness around my rt eye. Right hand is about 50% numb. My second and third toes on my right foot want to constantly clench. The therapists had zero answers for my toes. All the foot doctor offered was surgery. I bought inserts that help some. The toes cause me to limp especially after being on my feet all day working. Luckily I can still do my job and my employer of 25 years gave me as much time off as i needed. My right leg (hip, knee and ankle) are the worst of it. I describe it as being a step slow. Had a constant pain settle in my hip so I started using an old exercise bike I had and the pain went away. Then it came back. Started doing stretches for my hip and that helps. I say "I don't exercise to get better I exercise to keep from getting WORSE. It seems to me that if don't do my exercises and stretches I REGRESS. And I don't regress slowly I regress rapidly. I become weaker within a couple days. I would love to hear what you think about this? No doctor or therapist said anything about losing what had been gained.

One thing I have been doing that helps is keeping a journal since I got home from the hospital in March 2020. this allows me to go back & read where I was & how far I've come.It also helps to motivate me on days like these. I exercise for 1 hour every day 7 days a week, I also go to Physical therapy once every other week. It's what I can afford.

I've had 20 yrs of unexplained pain. Anywhere from allodynia to hyperalgesia (bruised feeling all over) to aching...etc. After probably 20 doctors, numerous MRIs, EMGs, lab work.... I've never been given an answer. I can feel pretty good for mounts to a year and BAM, it returns. Generally stress provoked. What are you r suggestions to keep this all at bay?

Thanks for sharing this! It is an extremely common and normal feeling. I plan to address this in this months Live video session. If you can encourage him to attend I think he will get a lot of value out of it. Link to sign up is in the description to this video

@@rehabhqofficial My wife is 2.5 years past her stroke. Still in PT weekly but all efforts to get her to use the home therapy devises we purchased ends up in a big fight. When I drag her through her exercises on my arm I see slight improvement over time, but she lacks any energy, effort, motivation, willpower, or even the desire to improve her balance and walking. Therefore regresses any gain she might have seen. Is it normal a stroke survivor wants to sleep 15 hours a day, or is constantly drained of energy and with depression? I'll see if she will attend too. tks

You are not alone! ❤️ My husband is 3 years post stroke (quite massive), and he sometimes has episodes when he feels like PT won't be helping anymore. Usually it happens at the EOY. Each time I remind him of the progress he made in the last year or months, even if small and apparently unimportant, yet they happened because we didn't give up, and we'll continue this journey together. And usually I make sure he's well aware when every progress is registered, and we discuss it with our doctor. We are aware of the plateau stage and its traps, yet it seems these moments of fatigue (that's how I perceive them) are recurrent, and they're part of the menu.

Diabetes is reversible. It all depends on your diet. There are a lot of people who have successfully reversed their diabetes by going keto.

100% agree! That is my point. Technically you are not "curing" your diabetes. There is most likely still an impairment somewhere in your system either with insulin secretion from the pancreas and/or insulin absorption into the the cells in your body. But because we now have a better understanding of the pancreas, blood glucose, a1c, insulin secretion, insulin resistance...etc., it is possible to manage blood glucose within a normal range. Same can be said for a brain injury, MS, PD. Many "experts" are telling patients that they are "incurable". My point is, 50 years ago, most likely, many "experts" were telling patients with diabetes the same thing. Imagine if you first doctor who diagnosed you with DM told you, you had an incurable disease. You may not have done the necessary lifestyle modifications to "cure" yourself. I think the same can be said about neurologic injuries. :) I hope that makes sense. It was really more of an analogy as opposed to me stating a "fact" (referencing my statement on diabetes in the video). But back to you.....if you have reversed your DM....congratulations!! That is not easy to do and you should be extremely proud of yourself :)
