Stroke

[copingeveryday]

I am 36 years old and had a major stroke in 2000, i was 28 when it happened, i was numb on my left side and lost some of my hearing, couldn't talk well and couldn't walk well. The stroke happened in my brain stem. after numerous days of theropy i am almost back to normal, except for headaches all the time and numbness on my whole left side that causes strange feelings such as, tingleing, burning or just asleep, cold feels hot and something hot doesn't really bother me at all on that side, The doctor's that i have seen have no ideal why i had my stroke I"m wondering if it's just the nerve damage or if it could be something else. any ideals why it would still be feeling this was after 8 years, The cold weather makes it hurt so much i can't hardly stand it. Thank You, your replies would help.

I had my stroke in june of 07 and I was in the hospital for 45 days, alot of it was rehabilitation
but I have the same feelings you have, and its brutal somedays
I take gabipentin and oxcarbazepin seems to work pretty well
but I am kinda worried, I was hoping it wopuld be gone, but you said it has been 8yrs and you still have it
