my therapy has the excersies Ive received in the beginning plus those you advise on and recommend. I write and record music using my right hand. doing daily things and pushing myself is my therapy, today I gardened cleaned the patio it took forever, but I did it. I drive with my right side so my independence is back., I cry a lot for no reason ( pain in the Ass)...Music and Art saved me from totally giving up on life. I guess after 13 months I'm doing okay, this is why I consider myself lucky...nuero fatigue is intense after a day like today. YOU ARE A GOD SEND for so many. I first listened to you my first week in the hospital I was in for a month at the Acute Rehab at the California Pacific Medical Center. but haven't met with a real stroke neurologist yet . insurance said no need, won't pay ....arrggg major anger with that . Writing, if you cant write dictate. Stroke is like a fingerprint.

Guayama, Puerto Rico. I have suffered various stroke and it hasn't been easy recovering because I have lost walking&talking with each one. I do suffer from a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. I have had a couple lumbar punctures which do not help at all. The headaches every time are worse. The headaches usually cause me syncope. I suffer them every couple of days, putting My brother and his wife in terror. I live alone so it's hard dealing. Doctor please use my conditioning on one of your videos.

What type of music ? Any specific music Or song Good for the therapy to reduce the muscle tone during doing exercises at home ?

[@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103]

Hi Ken, Music is so powerful for healing! I dont know of any music for tone specifically but in general there are 2 approaches to bringing music into your recovery program: 1) Use any music you have loved (the longer you and the music go back, the better!) and 2) Use any music with a tempo you can keep up with to set a rhythm. Thanks for being here with us!

[@kengoay1941]

Thank you Doctor, I will try to find old melody music.
