Stroke survivor, Jayme Kelly, shares her story of survival and recovery 

I had a stroke 4 months ago, in the brainstem. Think it was because of cholesterol. Doing everything my doctors told me to do. They told me to eat a Mediterranean diet. And I am. Feel good. Walking and talking a little better. I want to encourage those who have had a stroke. Acccept Christ as your Savior. Believe he will get you through. The holy Spirit will get you through anything. In Christ, ❤

I had two strokes over a year ago and I’m grateful to be here

I suffered a stroke five weeks ago. I am making progress, thank God 🙏🏾

I'M NEL FROM THE PHILIPPINES RECOVERING FROM BRAIN STROKED I AM JUST 30 YRS OLD... STAY HEALTHY AND EAT HEALTHY FOODS AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND BE GOOD TO YOUR PARENTS AND TO YOUR FAMILY AND TO ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE GOOD TO YOU.... ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ALWAYS THERE FOR US... 😊🇵🇭 I'M NEL FROM THE PHILIPPINES

My brother just had a stoke last night at 35 praying he fully recovers 🙏 🙏

I had a stroke in September 2020. I can resonate with your experience. I was in Physical/ Occupational/Speech therapy for 6 months (3 times weekly). Thank God for his mercy. I able to walk ,speak now. NEVER GIVE UP! You are doing Great.

I suffered a stroke in 2013 a week before Christmas 🎄! Everything you said I can identify with! It’s been 9 years now and since then I have resumed normal activities through prayer, my faith in God, family, and physical therapy. My recovery is a miracle even though I’m still not at 💯 % people who never met me before can’t tell I had a stroke. I want to encourage others who are recovering from a stroke to not give up on yourself! Listen to your doctors advice and take your physical therapy seriously. Maintain relationships with those around you who are positive and not negative! My faith in Jesus Christ and divine healing kept me grounded. My heart goes out to anyone who is a stroke survivor because we survived a life changing event. Blessings!

Im 50 and had a stroke 3 years ago. Im still having balance issue, nerve damage and brain slow down but im much better. Its a constant battle but don't give up. Accept the new normal and live.

My mom had a mild stroke 2 days ago. My world shattered!! Because there is no superman that exists or no Captain America. Just this woman who has done everything in her power to help others. Especially me. That's the real fckin superhero! I find myself so angry when she isn't, she's just ready for recovery. I promise to God I don't wish this feeling upon my worst enemy. I'm gonna do everything humanly possible to get my mother back to the strong and sassy woman she was not even a few days prior. Please take care of yourselves and loved ones people ❤️ I love you all!

I also had a stroke a year and 2 months ago I claimed my strength in the resurrection of Jesus Christ to God be the Glory I started walking within 3 days. And still praying for Gods healing powers Upon me Sensation has not returned to normal but nobody can’t tell if I have been suffering from stroke. I give God the Glory

I had a stroke 2 months ago...i am 36 yrs old...still recovering as it affected my memory..very traumatic for me as I couldn't remember even my own name...i overworked and didn't have a healthy lifestyle...now i'm trying to get better..it still is challenging for me since during recovery, i am struggling with overthinking about the work i left since i am still in recovery; whether i will have another stroke; how i will have another work that won't trigger another stroke...it's very scary for me...😢

I had a stroke in May 2023, and spent two months laying on a bed at a military hospital in Northern Virginia. The one thing I can say it's the worst thing telated to the stroke is that I forgot how to cry--My brain forgot how to cry!! My eye doctor says that it will take about a year to be able to cry tears again. Thanks for sharing your story. God is in control of my life. Amén and Amén!!

Ima 30 year old stroke survivor. I had two strokes back to back on new years 2023! Watching this made me shed tears! I pray everyone that have had one heal as well as myself amen 🙏🏾

I am 35 and I suffered a stroke six months ago. Although I recovered within 15 days. But the PTSD omg. Still going through it. I have gained a lot of weight even though I am dieting and leading a healthy life. Hopefully one day the sun will shine brighter than ever. I am greateful

We will pray for you and everyone who is suffering it! hope you all recover as soon as possible! Amen!

My little brothers called me to say their Dad has had a stroke in his sleep. We lost our mum 5 years ago and they’re only young still. The thought of my little brothers losing both parents is the scariest thing ever for me. They don’t deserve to go through such trauma. I’m praying he’s going to be okay, these amazing stories are reassuring me a little. Such strength ❤

I am a stroke a survivor as well. Thank you for sharing your story ! I had a stroke in Sept end 2020. Three years have passed. i am Still recovering ! I am 62 now !

Hello Im a stroke survivor. I had a stroke 4 weeks and 2 days after i gave birth to my bby girl. The stroke affects my ability to swallow so i couldn’t eat i had to get a feeding tube placed. But Its been 6 months since my stroke. I pray and Thank god for giving me more time to spend with my kids and family. This is the first time i let someone know besides my family. Prayers and hugs to everyone going through any kind of health difficulties. Stay focused on working on ur rehabilitation.

Shes doing alright, i had a stroke at 20 and im still slow at 38.

I am also. a recovering stroke victim to where I had lost the right side of my ability to move. I remember that it had with a splitting headache, and I did not have any rehabilitation I had left the hospital after 2weeks, and rehabilitated and nursed myself back to a full recovery. I believed that frolics and fragment tissue of the brain had built up pressure thus causing a blockage to one side of the brain, and where not enough oxygen was getting into the brain. the doctors that had treated said that it was caused by a build - up of stress. Stress is a killer don't stress!!!

I too m a stroke survivor. I'm STILL trying to recover. My left side is still numb. I had to learn to walk again, and my left arm and hand are still imobile. God Bless You! You Are BEAUTIFUL!!

Had a stroke at 13 right side its been 9 years sense than still going strong

I am a stroke a survivor as well. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️

Keep up the fantastic recovery! It's one heck of a journey, but, NEVER. GIVE. UP! You are a warrior!

I also had a stroke but was lucky to have it at work , with a coworker who was studying to be a nurse. I got immediate medical attention and I'm doing better it took some time but I'm thankful for all I can do .

Thank you Jayme. I also had a left side stroke in May 2022. Your story almost mirrors my journey to date with the challenges each day and triumphs each day. I appreciate your story and l am sending you my love and best wishes

Hi Im a stroke survivor, I had a stroke and did'nt know what was happening. And I tried to over come it like I've done with other sickness. And while I was standing I fell to the side and broke my ankle but did'nt know because I could'nt feel nothing. But my daughter came and found me on the floor the next day ( I live alone). She rushed me to the hospital and I did'nt get treated until 11 hour later. to make a long story short when I got home, I walked funny cause I did'nt have strenth on my right side, couldn't talk right, so I decided I did'nt want to stay that way, so however I could I would exercise my legs and arm daily, First day I could only do 1 or 2 counts whatever the exercise was, after 3 weeks I was doing 30 counts of each exercise. I live alone, I walk and talk , do all my house work, shopping, everything on my own. I give all the Glory and Honor to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior for what He has done and continues to do in my life. And Im praying for all of you that have had a stroke.

i am a stroke survivor as well. Thank you so much for inspiring me to continue the journey! june 8th, 2022 I'm 43

God bless you for telling us your story.. my mum has suffered a stroke whilst in theatre having brain surgery, she is still in hospital I visited her for the first time yesterday and it broke my heart.. I'm also recovering from open heart surgery myself only 2 months ago so it's been quite a rollercoaster of events but you gave me hope very inspiring. All the best xx

I like how she gave voice to that you can hold two things at once. Feeling sadness and loss but also having strength and moving forward. Thank you! I am a young stroke survivor and that perfectly encapsulates how I feel. I only show my strength side but inside I do feel sadness and loss. I think acknowledging the painful parts is important and doesn’t mean I’m not strong and positive but I do feel like I’m letting others down when I reveal those feelings. ❤❤❤ thank you for your story Jayme. You are strong!!!

Four years ago I had what should have been a lethal stroke - a left thalamic hemorragic bleed. But I'm all here mentally. But phyically disabled. Every nurse on the floor told me it was a miracle i was alive.

Thank you for sharing your story ❤❤

So inspired by hearing your story Jayme and more importantly thank you so much for sharing. It is truly the individuals like you who keep the world in rotation. Lots of love. xx

Thank you for sharing your story! My brother is going through this right now and it gives me Hope. Sending you love!

God bless you! I also suffered a stroke this time last year and didn’t know what was happening. Keep fighting and thank you for sharing!❤️

During the middle 2020 my mom was complaining about a very painful migraine so she asked my grandma to come pick me up from her so I wouldn't worry after I left she was lying on the floor unable to get up and was vomiting every where so she called her boyfriend at the time and then he called hatzolah(ambulance) where she was rushed to the hospital they did a MRI on her and she had brain bleeds which caused her to go into a coma and while they were in the middle of operation she shot a clot to her brain causing a stroke(right and middle). All she wanted to do was survive for me even if she was in a coma. About 3 weeks later she woke up from the coma and the doctor told her she couldnt walk. she didn't believe and as soon as she tried to get up she vommited. About 2 or so weeks later she came home where a lot of nurses came and Occupational therapists etc. About last year September she started biokenetics and as of now she can look left and right she can't look up and down she can drive she can't swim she can't move fast she can walk on her own it takes her like maybe 3 minutes to get out of bed since she has to get her balance back but that's what happened. Let me say most people take their parents for granted until they lose/almost lose them.

I had a stroke back in April 2024 and my right side is weak but I’m walking with the walker to my kitchen and back and I’m raising my hand more

I’m going through a tough time with my PTSD, my health condition has been going for a month now and I have early signs of a stroke/heart attack. My parents won’t allow me cos they think it’s just a cold cos i went hospital many times, saying that my ecg is okay. but it turns out it’s my stress & anxiety and depression. Someone please comfort me🥹❤️and advice

I just had 3 strokes a few months ago. I’m 23

Can you have all the symptoms of a stroke except for the drooping/ numbness on one side and it still be a stroke? I lost all control of both legs and my speech and had hazy vision

I’m 39 and I just had my 5th stroke 2 weeks ago. My life is so gloomy now

I had a stroke 2 years ago and then brain surgery and had to remove a portion of my cerebellum. I am left with loss of balance and constant state of dizziness. I've learned to live with it but have been trying to find someone that has the same symptoms which are like constant vertigo. Life is good and I'm so thankful but it's different. I've seen 7 neurologist but no one can help me find someone with my symptoms. Just wanted to share and find out what they've been through.

I'm a stroke s For 1 year and 10 months never give up

I had a stroke 2 weeks ago..im looking for inspiration..that is why i came across at your videos

Suffered one in 2022 and 2023 both in October,pretty weird ,I’m still struggling with my left hand (most especially while typing and writing)my speech is like mumbling some of the words but I’m hopeful I’ll get better!

In April 2024 i had a stroke that affected my left side [right brain ] when got out of hospital my partner had s massive stroke 2 days later his is right side paralysis [ left brain stroke] i have to care for him as i recoverd quicker.

Am from Ghana had a hermorrighic stroke but no money for surgery

I am victim of schemic stroke, 42 old any one who can help me please my left hand and leg attacked 40 days ago

My mom suffer a stroke yesterday. She was bleeding in her right side of her brain which affects her left side of her body. I'm so broken and don't know how to start this journey with her.

I'm 26 and suffered a stroke. Lost the ability to use my left side. This is hard.

My mom had a stroke in February 2018 and just when I thought she was getting better, she had a second stroke around June 2021. She has lost her ability to swallow, talk and since she has had two strokes, her full body is paralyzed and as a result she lies down everyday which has given her very deep bed sores. Guys I’m 20 now and my mom had her first stroke which she left half of her body paralyzed and lost her speech. These past four years have been the worst of my life. My mom has lost weight so much that any time I look at her I get scared.....there’s a lot on mind that I can’t type cause because I don’t think I’ll be able to finish and I don’t want to talk to any of my family or friends about it cause everyone keeps saying trust in God and it’s exactly what I been doing for almost my whole life now and still very bad things happen to me...I’ll just end here

3 months ago I had one im68

FAST needs to include something for LEGS! I passed the FAST test my husband gave me so we went back to sleep & suffered more damage for not going to the hospital for 5 hours. Like many others, my ONLY symptom was leg tingling & weakness, why on earth is there not more awareness about this??

I’m a stroke. And it’s hard. I kept speak.

I am a hemorrhagic stroke survivor too. And I have gotten the left Above Knee Amputation too. I still don't know how I can get married with someone or not. It's all due to I came back to my dormitory from the home of my ex girlfriend. She has broken up with me from 2011/10/07.

The doctors could not find anything wrong with me back then, after having brain scans, lumber puncture I don't know why, but that's what happened they had sent me home with panadol! I hear today, they have a lot more methods and measures for healing.

Thank YOU JESUS CHRIST Holy Spirit of the Living GOD bless YOUR Mighty NAME ADONAI Eloheinu YAHWEH forever and ever thank YOU JESUS CHRIST please let us pray the LORDS Prayer daily thank You Jesus Christ for this prayer Matthew chapter 6 verses 9 to 13 Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy Name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil amen thank YOU JESUS CHRIST for this prayer

My dad just had a stroke a few days ago and I'm so afraid

Bhod bless you

had a stroke four years ago, so angry

What should someone who is approaching 3 months post stroke focus on most? Balance seems to be the most effected currently

When I was 15 I had a really bad head injury at the back of my head and not long after the head injury I felt really weird. The next couple of days I was doing one of the hardest drugs then one night I did the drug and straight after smoking it I felt doom and I was scared but I didn't think much of it then I had a shower then when I finished my shower I noticed I was so cold and I should of been sweating because it was really hot day then I started feeling weirder and weirder like I was really sick then I remember looking in the mirror and one of my eyelids was dropping and then i started seeing flashing lights in my vision then I laid in bed then I wanted to have a smoke but for some weird reason I just couldn't get myself to pick up the smoke it was like something was stopping me I just couldn't do anything but sit on my bed then as I was sitting there I said mom if anything bad happens to me call the ambulance. I started googling stroke symptoms then just as I was reading them I heard an ear piercing ringing sound then all of a sudden I had the worst head ache in the entire world the pain was so bad it can not be described and I started screaming and our neighbour came over because he thought I was getting raped because the screaming was so terrible. My right side of my body was fully numb and was tingling like crazy and it was so weak I I couldn't even pick up or hold a pen because I remember doing that and the pen felt so heavy like weight lifts and I felt like my legs were not attached to me but I knew they were and mom called an ambulance but at first she and a friend of mine thought I was just having a panic attack but then they saw that I was dying and I was freezing I was the coldest I had ever been. When the ambulance arrived they had to help me slowly walk to the ambulance and I was still crying but I think I had stopped screaming just loud sobbing though and they put me on a drip and the pain started going away slowly and they injected some drug into me twice to calm me down because of the way I was crying and I stayed up all night in hospital crying texting a friend telling her of what happened. Wow I remember it like it was yesterday, this left me very traumatized. No body no doctor told me what happened to me but I think I had a stroke. If anyone knows what happened to me please let me know because I still have not got an answer to this day 💜

I know how you felt Kelly !

I totally understand how you feel I feel damaged and nobody understands this you How did you do it??

❤❤❤

My father (51) suffered a brain stroke (on left side of his brain) on 1st of April, 2023 may be due to high blood pressure (as he has been suffering from high bp for a long time n he didn't use to take medicines of high bp regularly). He got some immediate treatment n thankfully he survived.. but his ability to talk has lost n right side of his body is paralyzed. In the early 4-5 days of the stroke, He wasn't able of swallowing so feeding pipe was used but now he can swallow properly. The doctors discharged him from hospital on 6th April saying that he is now out of danger but it'll take a long time to recover completely.. At home, we ourselves do his physiotherapy as suggested by physiotherapist.. Can someone tell how long he will take to come out of his paralysis?
