Hello all my name is John I’m new to the community and haven’t learned yet how to navigate it. I had a stroke in march this year and still have a lot of after effects, my speech is not great yet but keeps improving, I have balance issues so need to walk with a stick. The movement down my right side has now returned quite well although I drag my leg if I don’t concentrate hard. From what I’ve read on other people’s posts what I’m experiencing will resonate with many of you.everyone says exercise is good but I also suffer from COPD which makes it difficult as I get out of breath. I have started to use an exercise bike and have built up to 2 miles a day it seems to be helping.

Exercise bike sounds like it’s working, John
Next, try a treadmill? Good luck, Roland

@John.c hi & welcome to the community. Stroke recovery can take a long time so it’s not unusual to still be working on different aspects of it 8 months on. As long as you keep working though there’s every hope for continued improvement.
Well done on your exercise bike achievement. 2 miles is great going especially given you have COPD as well.
Best wishes
Ann
