Stroke survivor and philanthropist Mark Moore speaks at a special session of the MedStar Stroke Support Group at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital. To learn more about the MedStar Stroke Support Group, visit www.medstargoodsam.org/our-ser....
I had a stroke March 7th 2021. I was in inpatient rehab for 27 days, I walked out with a cane. I am going through home health therapy. I now have movement in my left arm and fingers. The first few weeks were the toughest weeks of my life. But God is real and He told me I'll make a full recovery. You can recover from a stroke.
I suffered a Brain Stem Stroke January 24, 2021. I had no underlying health issues like HBP, High Cholesterol or Diabetes. The cause of it was a combination of Birth Control and Migraine. I stayed at the Veterans Hospital for 16 days. Right side paralysis but was able to move that side on the 4th day. Lots of spasticity. I do PT, OT, Vestibular Therapy, and Acupuncture (Scalp Acupuncture to stimulate my brain).
Sending you waves of positive vibes

I had a stroke in August 19 age 47 non smoker rarely drank had palpitations for about 6 months before, then one day bang massive ischemic stroke. Doctor in hospital when I woke up said it’s very important not to feel sorry for yourself and say why me? So I haven’t and I’m slowly getting my Mobility back
Thank you for this my dad just had a severe stroke and has lost use of his left arm and leg speech isn’t the same but we have faith and family are behind him and pray for a strong recovery and hope your are well to anyone going through this my prayers go to you and your family don’t give up
Just to listen other people talking about their own traumatic event overcome, is a tremendous help. Thank you very much!
@Henry Louden don't know about you Henry and the difficulties you suffered from all the best for your future
I can't even tell you had a stroke I am a Survivor as well seeing you gives me hope
What did it do to
I would love for Mr. Mark Moore to speak with my husband. He is recovering from a stroke and he would be encouraged from another man sharing his testimony with him
God had me come across this video I believe I had a stroke 5 days ago… this indeed was encouraging I was going about my daily routine about to paint my room… don’t know what God want to do but help me Lord to get through this with a right attitude
i have been moving forward for the last year with a massive stroke, the key for me is to stay positive and move forward with jesus... man made tools are a joke best put your faith in jesus he will help ya thru....
Dealing with Stroke alone is the worse experience Everyone starts behaving in certain way Had a Stroke in 2018 Left side weakness, arm and leg Walk with a cane Bad balance Waiting on God My only hope No being easy Thanks for Sharing
Keep faith God is with you
Yes, keep faith...set goals every day...do chores every day...your balance will improve...how are you doing now? Keep in touch for ongoing support 😊

At the end of Nov 2020 I had a brain stroke. (age 32) after a month in the hospital I enter rehab and the real work begun.My motivation was to get home and be with my family… with that in mind I would set little milestones for myself and work very moment to surpass my own goals. What I did was try to isolate movements. Work on moving just my big toe until I got it, no matter how long it took. Next, I worked on learning how to spit out the paste when brushing my teeth, when my little brother would come visit I’d tell him “ the next time you come I’m going to be able to flip you the bird” ( put up my left middle finger) so for the next week I would focus on that everyday along with whatever other goal I had given myself. I say all that to say don’t give up! Set little goals for yourself, it doesn’t matter how small work on them often. Give yourself pep talks.( there will be times you don not feel like doing this, but do it any way) we are creating new neural pathways and forming new habits. So, the more we do something the more it becomes second nature. Our bodies are so amazing and I’m sure anyone that has had a physical traumatic experience can agree with that. The brain is so powerful and I took what I knew for granted ( ex. My left peripheral vision and however the 32 years it was a skill that was developed) I think of this as a reset and now my brain needs help and power ( via nutrition) to build new pathways, regain strength and acquire old and new skills. So, now I walk 30-40mins everyday no excuse winter, spring and summer. And during each walk I’m I Tune with how my left leg feels and what it is doing ( I use this as a way to track my progress) I keep a diary for when my emotions become overwhelming and when that’s not An option I find a safe space to cry scream or ponder. Don’t give up please! Keep going and remember to forgive yourself along the way.
My dad had a stroke in november, It all happened so fast I was glad I was home that day to call the ambulance. He's dealing with maintaining a stable blood pressure right now. Gives us hope, been trying to step up for the family I just want to support him through his recovery process. Its good to hear from people who have had this experience, My dad has always been a "tough guy" so he always says everything is fine. Thank you for sharing your experience, trying to stay strong for my pops while he is recovering. Its inspiring hearing your stories!
How are things going? I hope you’re all doing well and having a speedy recovery
@@JJDogz Thank you things are going well with rehab, and he’s on track to get a kidney doner, at first we didn’t think we’d get one but my mom is actually a perfect match for him if all else fails
This gives me hope. I'm on the road to recovery now. I had no idea this would happen to me. I'm walking daily now
Hey it’s been 4 months please tell me how is your progress going ?
@@mohammedhadhood8756 I'm not back 100% but I'm getting better. .I hurt my knee in physical therapy so I'm resting it. My goal is to start running and play tennis.
@@Macndav2u you don’t understand how much I’m happy for you I’m so glad and I know you’re gonna run soon .

This is an amazing story.helped me a lot
I had the gran daddy of them all strokes ten years ago July 12. I have gone to therapy constantly since. I am still working on balance and the use of my left hand and arm. I agree with everything you said. I just hope and pray it all comes back like you.it is frustrating.. your speech was very encouraging thank you. I agree, God doesn’t give you things you can’t handle. It has been a tough time. Love your words of encouragement. Thank you. Saundra Greensfelder
Thank you for sharing your story! Being just short of 6 months in recovery, I can relate to your experiences. Better Every Day, One Day at a Time!
I had one in January this year was in hospital for 3weeks came home June of this year I'm almost perfect. You have to work at it constantly, change ur diet and EXERCISE.
Thanks for sharing. But all what you were going through, it was God was in the mist of your situation no body but God. He wasn’t ready for you. Let’s hope that you give your life to God. He’s a amazing and great God. I had a stroke in 2019 left me with lift side weakness subluxation shoulder and drop foot. Thank God I am here to tell the story. I am alive,walking talking and also driving. Amen God is good. This is a testimony to all. Nothing in impossible for God. He’s still healing me. Today I went to church God has touched me. I am still thanking God for his completely healing me. God is good take your healing in Jesus name.
Thank you mark it's wonderful gave me a lot of courage And faith
Amazing story. I plan to share my story as well. What inspiration. I had a stroke the end of August and I can relate. Patience is not one of my good traits, but I’m learning. Thanks for this.

Just unbelievable!!! So impressed with your being able to believe and trust. Love your sense of humor and humility. Thank you 🥰

Hey man I had stroke May22 2020 Im in therapy right now since June, I got depressed and was looking for inspiration and found this I'm working on the cane very hard.im a young 60 thanks for sharing
December 17..paralyzed complete left side.. 1 week later I ditched the cane..didn't want to become dependent on it.. 2 weeks later back at work on limited duty.. didn't want to sit at home and fall into a depression... it's a mind set.. you have to be determined to get better..don't fall into a depression.. not once did I say why me...good luck man..👍🏽
@@loveyu2778 like a boss sitting around if you can move move for sure good job.
God bless you , keep strong 🙏✝️
@@loveyu2778 This really depends on how severe your stroke is. The one I got was not as bad as it can be, but it hit me on January 15. My entire right side was paralyzed. I got back the ability to walk pretty quickly. I still have a hard time with my torso and arm. However, I did crush my right hand, losing the thumb, a few years back. Perhaps that is adding to the issues, idk. Currently, It's now April 3rd, and I feel pretty dizzy and nauseous when I use my arm regularly. I feel extremely tired most of the time. I sometimes feel a bit down, but I would not say extremely depressed. I am optimistic that it will, one day, just click back to normal. I may have a bit of a ride, still, though. Thanks to everyone who has shared & good luck.
What is the black guy's name that had a stroke and then he ran the five k mile
Thanks for sharing. I am on day 6 after having my stroke. I will start aggressive rehab soon. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
God bless you Mr. Moore!
Does mark have any place to reach him? Any social media? Thank you so much for posting this video. It was so hope filled and a breathe of fresh air to many who desperately need it.

Great testimony!!🙏🏻
thank you to those therapist and thank you for sharing this story. Makes me think about what i want to do on my 2 year anniversary.
Every one is different. Some are lucky and some are not when a stroke happens. My mom was not lucky. She had to live having to depending on people to help her with everything. It was really hard. But I'm glad your stroke story has a good ending.

Dr. Tobinick in Florida is working miracles for stroke/brain injury….absolute miracles.
4 years post stroke, walking, doing way better but spasticity is my main issue, very hard to overcome.especially in my hand.
How are you doing now? Is the spasticity improving?
Thanksfor ssssssssssssssharing
Magnesium deficiency can cause severe migraines and stroke. Also B12 deficiency can cause strokes also. My husband's stroke was from the deficiencies. His heart was very healthy and they didn't know what caused the stroke. After research and going to a naturopathic doctor, I found out it was those deficiencies.
I had a stroke December 5th. I can speak better but I don't understand messages or paragraphs at all times. I'm going to get better. Merry Christmas and prayers you to you all.
I'm an EMT and physician assistant with a lot of emergency medical experience. You were showing classic sings of a hemorrhagic stroke and it seems like many people, including the EMT, nurse, doctor all missed it and showed either cognitive bias in dealing with you and assumed it was a migrane or some other type of bias. If I heard "worst headache of my life" from any patient also exhibiting symtoms of weakness you would have immediately earned a trip to radiology for a brain CT or MRI. If they didn't do that then they were super negligent for your care that day.
I agree and unfortunately probably common for younger healthy looking people who are suffering a stroke.
Hi Markhad a stroke last week Went icy in hospital now in acute rehab watching this very down on myself I need to have an inspirational dialogue with you Is there away I may speak with you?
Sorry about the typos
I never accepted the fact of having a stroke. There is nothing wrong with me.. lol.. not being able to drive, lost me independence. Depression fills me day and is killing me slowly.
Please live life to the best you can and know you are not alone.
I too have those thoughts sometimes. I had an Ischemic Stroke on Xmas day 2022, and am in rehabilitation three times weekly with my therapist and twice daily on my own. I feel like I've lost so much of what I used to have. However, I still believe I will get back most of what I lost. It's very mentally challenging and you have to work very hard at everything, nothing is easy for me anymore. Keep positive attitudes and have a speedy recovery 🙏.

@@arnoldyap3168 thanks
I only have faith
I'm surprised they didn't check your blood for clotting factors at the time of your stroke. They sent mine to the Mayo clinic first thing to make sure I didn't have some kind of funky clotting disorder.
Yes I'm 36 I had my stroke when I was 31 I have elevated factor 8
What does that mean . Factor 8?

How long do these surgeries take?
Hi what medication do you take for stroke?
How did you movemeny in your arm back???
I feel like I might have had a stroke when I developed cough headache from lisinopril, I just had my gallbladder out and I'm enrolled in medical ethics and because of my age and everything ain't nobody gonna listen to me until I'm dead. None of these teachers ever believed in me they believe in the system. Where no one is told what to think because that would just be too much coercion in a free society that values non-aggression principle. That's what taxes are for! So I can tell you what I think and you can go along blindly because I made you afraid of some boogeyman that's threatening or freedom again. I'm gonna need a shot of Double Dutch Courage.
Had a craniectomy recently
Does anyone know how mark is doing?
too hard for my brain to process did pretty well though didn’t I
How did you get your arm back,, had a stroke end of may still in hospital

I had a stroke in 2015 which this year is six years and even though I’ve had PT and OT I still have my disabilities of only walking with a cane for balance and assistance. My left arm, hand and finger don’t work on their own. Very frustrating.
@Henry Louden this was the same doctor that cured my father from stroke, Dr Taiye cured my father too and all thanks goes to him. Hope more people can reach out to him for help
