Hey Mike, I found your videos while researching the effects of thalamic stroke that happened to my 2 year old daughter. Your message gives me so much hope for whatever is to come. Thank you for sharing.
Cool to hear your story and inspiring to share. I suffered a thalamic stroke myself on june 18, 2023 with no cause found at 22. I'm recovering well and like you said just keep pushing:)
I really appreciate the feedback thank you. Definitely sorry that happened to you, there is zero consolation like "You're young, you'll recover" I know it's really really tough but just know it gets easier over time.
I can't find the images but I may be able to order them.. if I remember right there was just a big dark spot on the base of my brain... I'd like to get a new set next year and share the images from day of and four years out. By glass you mean like reading glasses?
@@agent6t8 thanks again for sharing your video its been very helpful . you said you got some off of amazon did they block certain waves of light? I've multiple small vessel strokes but no damage to the tissue like you have but I have all your symptoms. I've been refused a diagnosis even with evidence ischaemia approaching the thalamus. My writing is terrible sorry my brain skips co-ordination between my hands and thoughts lol
OOOOOOH ok yeah. I got really cheap reading glasses, and I have dark tinted "dongdi blue light blocking" glasses (put that exactly for you to be able to look it up) I found that uv light and light from flourescent lights is really hard on my eyes, so I deal with the jokes by just wearing dark glasses indoors. I think I got 1.0 prescription and they are about perfect.
