Illnesses

Stroke

Can someone get better from a stroke?

Most people start to get better after they have had a stroke, but there is no time limit and some people have made improvements years after they had a stroke. Sometimes they only get a little bit better, sometimes they get completely better. Doctors can give people medicines that help make sure they don’t have more strokes. People who have had a stroke often need to learn to do simple things again, like speaking or walking. Nurses and “therapists” help people to do this.
