Brain Stem Stroke- right lateral Medullary Infarction

Hello @Lizzie22 - A warm welcome to this community where we hope you will find comfort, support, information and friendship in plenty :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing with us your stroke experience. As you you been told, your particular “strain” of stroke is of a rare type and you should make a good recovery, indeed, there are some on here who believe you may make a full recovery :slight_smile:

I note you have had some welcome notes from our regular contributors and I hope you will get a chance to explore this forum and the Stroke Association where I am sure you will likely find much of interest, and not only about the subject of stroke, but many other things which go towards making life that much more happier as you recover from your stroke.

I note you have been left with right facial bells palsy and loss of sensation down the whole of the left side of your body, unable to distinguish hot/cold, balance problems and swallowing issues and fatigue. In the last few days we had another new member, @jolo join us who also mentioned Bells Palsy and we had a little discussion on that with contribution from various members. You may find that discussion of interest and I attach below a link to the same.

If there is anything you wish to ask, please feel free to post on this forum and I am sure someone will be able to enlighten you.

Wishing you a full recovery (yes, I am one of those who believes this is possible - it is my personal belief and you should not necessarily read too much into that :slight_smile: )

Namaste|
:pray:
