Hello wonderful folks !
I am thinking of starting my own little Zoom support group for stroke survivors and caregivers to provide connection, offer guidance, and foster hope.
Roland’s Café (except I don’t drink coffee) could be a weekly session where you can ask a few questions, learn about some new therapy, or offer some tips yourself?
I’ve clocked up 3 years of post-stroke (26/42 NIH SS) experience and my passion is on natural cures and solutions that I have lived and breathed ; but I’m no slouch and have nothing against mainstream medicine, either. I’m not intending to advise about meds, obviously, as I’d rather leave that to your team. However I would like to offer any advice on therapies that worked for me and that I follow con gusto. My own recovery journey is in full swing ; I am work in progress, and have my own dedicated team supporting me around the clock ; a Radiologist, a Psychologist, a Chinese Medicine Doctor, a Craniosacral Therapist, a Stroke-Physio, and the best Wife in the World! The furthest I have walked is one mile !
I have read 120 books on health and medicine in 2 years (such was my resilience & will to overcome my stroke), so I feel a blog, support group, or even just conversations with others facing similar struggles may be in order. Plus, several people have requested Q&A sessions in the past, but I’ve no idea if there’s any ongoing interest or demand for such an enterprise. Nor do I know how to set up such sessions (yet!). My YouTube channel is called Start Again https://www.youtube.com/@Start-Again-xyz/videos and my next clip will be about how Sulphur can help misbehaving nerves (like excitotoxicity), a problem which many stroke survivors like myself come up against.
Ciao for now, Roland
