Stroke Recovery

How I Kick-Started My Stalled Stroke Recovery

Beschreibung

This is a description of my stroke and the series of neurological events that led up to it. My recovery, and how I managed to make additional recovery progress after my normal recovery seemed to plateau are discussed. There's also information on silent strokes and mini-strokes, and my personal experiences and insight regarding them. Medical references to validate certain facts are listed whenever they're appropriate. The material also offers my insight and opinion on how to maximize recovery. There's a brief discussion of post-stroke depression, and how depression can interfere with normal stroke recovery. My thoughts on how to prevent post-stroke depression from ruining your recovery are included.

Autor

Wayne Persky was born, grew up, and currently lives in Central Texas. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, College of Engineering, with postgraduate studies in mechanical engineering, mathematics, and computer science. He has teaching experience in engineering, and business experience in farming and agribusiness. After the onset of severe digestive system and general health problems in the late 1990s, he went through extensive clinical testing, but the GI specialist was unable to diagose the problem. Afterward, not surprisingly, he was told by his gastroenterologist that there was nothing wrong with him. Unable to find a medical solution, he was forced to search the medical literature in order to resolve his health issues. After extensive study, he identified the likely source of the problem as food sensitivities triggered by the intestinal inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease. After tracking down all his food sensitivities and eliminating them from his diet, he was able to get his life back. Over 15 years later, he continues to actively study new medical research as it becomes available. He currently administrates an online microscopic colitis discussion and support forum. He also founded the Microscopic Colitis Foundation, and he is a regular contributor to the newsletter published by the organization.
