Have you thought about keeping a diary/journal to document your daily activities, food and medication? Maybe something might show up by doing this?

Hi, yes done that before, it doesn’t seem to be related to what I do. I have a fairly loose routine, I could be doing the same things every day at the same times and the symptoms would vary so much in intensity so much. Like my left leg will feel really stiff and painful some days, I feel like I’m dragging it. Yet some days it won’t feel as bad and it’s a lot easier to walk. Just don’t understand it, not sure anyone does. My left hand some days feels like a burning pain, which is cpsp, yet some days its not too bad. I feel like when I’m tired it all makes it worse too, but I struggle to manage the post stroke fatigue, like the other symptoms, it varies a lot from day to day, even if I take it really easy and relax, it will be heavy one day and not as bad the next.

Welcome @tonelee and thanks for sharing. Its tough but try to stay positive and be kind to your self. Like alot of the comments I am experiencing similar effects. Speech up and down. I work in a telephone based customer service job and have no idea if i can do my current role so may (probably will) need to change jobs. I am still here though so still lots to look forward too. I have lots of fatigue and sleep lots. Used to do loads of exercise, Crossfit, running and dont do any of that anymore but I have started walking football which I love. Stay strong and look for positives where you can. We will never be who we were so need to love who we have become.

@tonelee hi well done for posting, fatigue is my biggest problem too I am a year behind you my stroke was May 23.
Unfortunately there seems to be no cure or set path to recovery does there?
I have a list of other problems similar to you, but you are the first I have heard mention dry eyes, which I also have.
I have progressed but it is so slow as to hardly notice but I’m convinced I have. So slow.
Just have to keep going even when it’s so very very hard to keep your chin up and be positive.
Sending very best wishes
Julie
