Cerrebellar Stroke Stories

A cerebellar stroke is one of the less common types of strokes. It occurs when a blood vessel is blocked or bleeding, causing complete interruption to a portion of the cerebellum.

This type of stroke typically affects only one side or section of the cerebellum. It’s also referred to as cerebellar stroke syndrome.

The cerebellum is the portion of the brain that controls movement and maintains balance. It’s located at the back of your brain, at the bottom. It has a symmetric left and right side. Each side controls coordination and movement for the corresponding side of your body.

As someone who had an active, busy (and sometimes stressful) life, it has taken a while to learn just to ‘exist’ for a while. It doesn’t take much to tire me out. I just must listen to my body and not push it too hard too soon. Different Strokes has enabled me to share my story and ask the questions I need to from those who have been through this. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone – it’ll always help.
