– I suspect that not really having any notions about strokes probably helped me, as it turns out that strokes are incredibly individual. For example, my biggest problem is fatigue. Although you often hear from survivors that tiredness is an issue, for me it is the issue; the part of my brain that controls sleep was affected, and I basically didn’t dream for the better part of a decade. It turns out that dreaming is a critical thing for being awake the next day.
– Stroke happens when blood flow to a part of your brain is cut off. Without the oxygen in blood, brain cells start dying within minutes. A stroke can happen in two main ways Something blocks the flow of blood, or something causes bleeding in the brain.
