Hi,
I am writing to find out if there is anyone out there that
has suffered a Thalamtic stroke and who has or is also suffering with central
nerve pain. I am writing on behalf of my mum, she has just turned 60 years old
and suffered the stroke 2 years ago, fortunately, she has not been left with
paraylisis to the side of her body but suffers stiffness and chronic unbearable
pain, the last 2 weeks she has suffered pain in her other arm and was taken to
hospital where captulitis was also diagnosed. She needs to find someone to talk
to who is experincing the same so she can talk to someone sympathetic as she
also had a traumatic experience with the hospital at the time she suffered her
stroke. please please email if you would like to get in touch with my mum, its
hard as a family member to fully understand what she and others are experiencing
although we do try our best and support her, thank you for reading and I wish
you all the best.

"Hi,
My nanna had a stroke just over a year ago and it has fallen on me and my sister and my mam to care for her. now i love my nan to death but she is now completely dependent and it is hard work. there are no real help available to carers of victims of a stroke and think that much is needed to be done.

"Under staffed, over worked, are four words that spring to mind. There's always enough money for Administration Managers, according to reports, there's more managers than beds, in the National Health Service, P R consultants and expensive working dinners, but not where it matters, at the sharp end. Why don't these people realise, the NHS is not there to provide them with a opportunity to pamper to their inflated egos, but to get the patients better. It maybe seems a bit naive, to expect this. But commonsense should enter in this equation, how many patients, have been wrongly diagnosed, because a over worked doctor was expected to work long hours, because it was financially beneficial in the short term, why did the doctor not send me immediately for a scan, was it he had to weigh up whether to waste money on the scan, and have it come back normal. Or they don't have that facility open at weekends, because of the overtime. Surely the powers that be, know that you can get ill at weekend. I apologise if I'm getting carried away, but it'll come clear later."CLICK HERE TO READ NOEL'S STORY
"After overcoming initial dificulties of getting in and out of the water, I have started visiting a local private pool, because I feel it will help in my recovery I was a strong swimmer and, before my stroke, swam weekly.Now, however, once in the water, I have no confidence and cannot take my feet off the bottom. Could you please advise of any outlets, especially those with a website, where I could obtain a suitable buoyancy aid"
