Hi

Thank you for your post. I am so sorry you have had a stroke, especially at such a young age. It must've been a dreadful shock to you.

Amount of recovery and times to achieve this are different for everybody. I am sure you will be going through a very difficult time at the moment with lots of different emotions, particularly as the stroke was so recent. However I must stress the importance of trying to keep as positive as you can and keeping up with physiotherapy.

Do you have ataxia?

Best wishes

Harriet
