HI, my name is Alain, and I had a cerebral hemorhage eighteen years ago, and live with the afterflects of this CVA. I have neuropahic pain, that wake my up every morning at 4;00 a.M or earlier, I lost the left priphral vision, so I can't drive, and often hit myself of objects and people, who get mad at me. I also have a sensibility deficit and a deficit in postion sense, which is an important deficit because I am pianist so fine sensibility and motricity sre important for me. Neverhteles, I don't wnat to just complain, because this accident also pushed me to realize importnat things; I ran five marathons since I have been in a wheel chair 18 years ago. I also complet a master Music(in piano pedagogy) which was'nt easy because at each piano exam the jury always complain about the weekness of my left hand, but I did it.
At this point, eighteen years after the cerebral hemorhage, I fell that I recover to much to go to support groups, but am not well enough to have a normal life, a job, and a financial contribution to my family. The neuropathic pain is also a daily burdon, hard to cope with.
So Happy to join you, hello to everyone
Alain
