Parkinson's Disease and stroke Posted: 01-02-08 20:25pm
can anyone offer some advice on helping
with recovery from stroke? my mom is only
65/yo with early onset Parkinson's Disease
(diagnosed at 55) worse is that she
suffered from stroke 3 months ago and has
been greatly struggling with loss of
mobility.
Recovery from stroke is very difficult,
almost impossible, because destroyed brain
tissue can not be rebuilt. Consequences
depends from the location and amount of
brain damage. It also depends from
presence of risk factors: high
cholesterol, diabetes, high blood
pressure, hearth disorders etc. If these
risk factors are present there is a risk
for another stroke. People with stroke, if
paralyzed, are also susceptible to develop
infections which worsen the prognosis.
Haw is your mother now?
