I do. It is very annoying.

Let me know how I could support you.

One spoiler. Strokefocus is going to release a mobile app soon. In this
app, you will be able to create your own groups and add your friends.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Tshidi, do you mean make a living?

[Strokefocus Admin]

Richard, check now. Sorry about the delay.

Also to everyone, you DO need an approved account to use the mobile app.
But before your account is approved, you CAN participate in forum
discussions like this, just by replying to the emails.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Nyiko, understood. I could not imagine the level of stress the family is
experiencing now. Tell us more about him before stroke.

[Strokefocus Admin]

You are doing the right thing.

We learned that the hardest part of dealing with stroke and aftermath is
the helpless feeling that we are facing it alone. Talk to the community.
Share your experience. We are not alone.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Thobeka, I hear you. This is a very thoughtful post.

What do you think of an opportunity to help stroke survivors from other
country, for example, Zambia to adjust to the new life after stroke?

[Strokefocus Admin]

We have seen people getting much better over the time. Everyone is different but do not lose hope.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Kele, I understand how anxious it feels.

Let me share a video from one of Strokefocus’ cofounders, Rita. She started
moving her fingers 25 years after stroke:

Rita has only one secret share: never give up.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Donna, tell me more about sound healing.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Faeezah, that was an incredible story. What was the biggest challenge you
dealt with in your journey of recovery, may I ask?

[Strokefocus Admin]

Thobeka, so nice to see you here. What are the challenges you would like to
bring up and share with this community?

Many times, survivors do not like to talk about their challenges. What do
you think is causing this? What will make survivors more willing to open up?

[Strokefocus Admin]

Have you got invitation?

[Strokefocus Admin]

There are invites.

[Strokefocus Admin]

Faeezah,

 

It is very interesting to know you also used acupuncture to help with your recovery.

 

The trickiest part of acupuncture is it is very hard to find a real good one who truly knows how to treat survivors. I found one in Los Angeles thanks to the help of Chinese American community. There are more than 8000 acupuncturists in Los Angeles and no more than 5 know how to handle stroke. (Do not trust what acupuncturists say in the ads)

 

Here is a video interview we made for this acupuncturist. Neil Yu is the one who introduced me to this acupuncturist:
