Hey members just in case some where wondering why I haven't been on since Christmas is because I had a cva stroke Christmas day!
Recovery is going great so far except lack of the ability to eat , drink or even swallow. Anyone with suggestions or ideas for the throat muscles?
 
What happened? Were there any signs leading up to the stroke? Were you exerting yourself at the time? Were you juicing, or clean?
 
No signs or symptoms that I was aware of , shit Christmas day I was playing dancing games on the wii, an having nerf gun wars with the kids all day.
About 2 am I woke with cold chills, felt the bedding an I must have sweated about 5 gallons, so I woke up grab a blanker laid in couch tosses an turned slight headache , sweating my ass if but didn't think nothing if it. Woke up figured ill grab a glass of juice an piece if cheesecake , stood up fell down , really weird disoreintented feeling, made it the kitchen grabbed a bite of cheesecake an couldn't swallow it so grabbed glasse of water Treid washing it down didn't work so I starting choking an turning blue , my 19 year old daughter heard the commotion an I yelled at her to call me an ambulance an when I did I dislodged the cheesecake an was able to breathe easier. From time I woke to hospital was approx 1 - 1 1/2 hours .Yes doc had me on trt at 400 mgs weekly.

TRT @400 mgs a week?

Do you mean 400 mg/week of test? How long had you been doing it?

Did you have high blood pressure?
 
Wow glad you're ok, jeez everyone's choking on stuff lately.
Pick3 will come to chime in soon on how to strengthen your throat :)
 
Yes 400 mg's a week = 2 cc test depot weekly. Yes I've had high Bp but that was way under control , before he started me on trt back in aug 15 , 2012. Just Wednesday before Christmas I hd an appointment to go over bloods, total test was 1500 so he dropped dosage down tto 1cc= 200 mg's weekly. My bad cholesterol was at 196 an my good only at 26, thats even with severe diet changes an adding omega threes an fish oils.
Just thank god caught stroke in the first hour or two or it possibly could have been worse , in using a cane to get around now , left side still a little weak, an cant swallow getting fed thru a feeding tube inserted in my stomach right now.the bright side is I get to leave hospital today in about 4 Hours to go home an finish everything with home health care.
 
That's crazy I wish you the best in recovery.

Glad to hear you are improving.

I'm still stunned at the idea of giving someone with high BP (albeit controlled) that must test per week. I could see 125... maybe even 250/week. But darn, 400 sounds like a cycle to me.

Again, good to hear things are improving. Good luck!
 
Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Hey ouch any recommendations for strengthening the throat muscles to improve swallowing? Anything woul be a big ++
 
Hope you get better bro..sorry to hear

Been taking any decongestants recently? Taking anything for BP?
 
400mg/week isn't too odd for her dr. They either start high or low until they find a happy medium.
Sorry to hear about your stroke. I hope you recover quick.

REPOST


I was clinically dead on the 13th after choking on my lunch and going into cardiac arrest. Two words for you:

hyperbaric chamber...

I walked out of the hospital 7 days later after going without oxygen and a heart beat for 20 minutes...and another 3.5 hours of going in and out of cardiac arrest in the emergency room.
 
No pick nothing from the other side but I did imagine myself dying choking to death right there on the floor.
what a helpless fucked feeling, never want that feeling again! The docs told me it was a blood clot at the base if my brain stem, MRI showed a couple distorted arteries they said where distorted from an apparent clot.hyperbariatuc chamber what would that do for me? Hyperlipemia what the fuck is that please explain? D.O ngr what the hell is that I'm just a Plain ole Michigan redneck, who likes to workout hunt an fish . Lol

Is there a genetic predisposition component?

Does lipid profile directly influence your vulnerability to hypercoagulation? Or is hematocrit more important for determining that?

Could an over-zealous HRT doctor cause that stroke with a 400 mg/week dose, or do you think the other factors were the driving issue and maybe the juice pushed him over the brink?
 
Could of been caused by any preexisting condition. But that's a good question, how many vhigher dozed HRT patients are there that have ended up with a stroke???

1. Yes
2. Indirectly
3. Another risk factor
4. Multifactorial etiology and we'll never really know
 
My doc lets me go as high as 100-125 mg of test every three/four days. It works out to around 200-225 mg/week.

So far, my test looks like it's right at top of range (1,200). My hematocrit looks in-line and my lipids look normal.

Is there any association with upper normal test levels and increased risk of heart attack or stroke?
 
Everyone's a fuckin doctor. I wont dare google and give you my analysis based on what google fuckin says like half of these assholes lol

Hope you heal well bro.
come back stronger and be careful.

Cheers.
 
holy crap dew...good luck! all jokes aside I have no idea what could help with the swallowing...its a pretty basic reflex
