A stroke is a huge mentally disturbing event as well as a physical one, especially in someone relatively young. Was there never a suggestion that psychiatric counselling maybe of benefit?
With absolute respect, has anyone suggested you have a psychosomatic illness brought on by the trauma you've been through?
Just thought it maybe an avenue you could explore as the mental anguish you're suffering now can only compound on what has gone before which could lead you into a hellish spiral of doom.
I hope you get answers. Soon.
Best wishes to you and your family.
It is possible that it is psychosomatic, but unlikely in this case. They think it could be that the nerve signals aren't being interpreted well in the brain. I think it is something different again though, but not sure what the cause or treatment would be.
I think it is less anguish and more disappointment in the way it has all played out. Perhaps if was religious, I would have someone to blame or rely on, perhaps saying that it is retribution for a past life or something :)
The risk of spiralling is quite high though for these kinds of things. Mild stroke patients are something like 10-20x more likely to suicide than normal population and I think it comes down to the frustration and lack of clear steps for anything that can help.
