It's award season. Don't know what CZcams gives but, you deserve the Top prize.
LOL. I appreciate that. :)
Thank you so much for the explanations and tips! I definitely need to let myself go through the grieving process because that explains my depression. And it's okay to be angry that I'm not the same.
My life seems to be a train wreck. I wake up, have some coffee, and go back to bed. Don't want to talk to anyone (trust issues) But thank you for letting me know it's real, and not my imagination.
You're so easy to listen to. Soothing, informative. I love it.
I’m physically and psychologically fatigued and my energy level is low. Sometimes I feel like giving up I am not a person that gives up. Dr Tobias your channel gives me hope and motivation and I thank you for your commitment to in creating videos.
Tamara, thank you so much for sharing this. You are definitely not alone. The reason I included the Psychological fatigue is because it is so common. I wished more of my patients took their psychological health as serious as the physical. It really is so important to address this. I hope you can work with a licensed mental health professional. They have so many strategies that can help with this. But more than anything else, know that you are doing a fantastic job. Some days ya just need to curse at the world and that is ok. I know you have what it takes to keep improving!!! Hang in there!!!

Please make a video how to handle pelvic symptoms (e.g, Urinary incontinence)
Great idea
Yes I would like one on urinary issues.
Thank you for covering various aspects of the rehabilitation and mentioning other professionals 👍
Thank you so much for all these Doc! I love you!
Good advice on fatigue and the journal is a great idea. To get a bigger picture can only help you figure out what effects your fatigue more than normal. Thank you for all your words of wisdom Dr. T
Thank you Dr.Tobias.
excellent tips i forgot about the midday nap during my esrly recovery. I'm at the 6 month mark post stroke and fatigue has come back after I transitioned back to work, therapy is also getting more intense and I can definitely relate to feeling fatigued after therapy. I guess its a combination of all that exertion. I've been afraid to take meds for spasticity to avoid side effects, but I might give them a try.Experiencing intense spasticity on my left leg and that takes a lot out of me too. Anyway, I'm going to start napping again. Thank you!
This is without a doubt the most informative and scientific explanation ever for neurological issues thank you. From 🇬🇧
Thanks so much Dr. Tobias, perfect timing. This video is awesome. Knowledge is power. Thanks for always encouraging, empowering and strengthening us for success in our health. I love and appreciate you. ❤️💪
Hi Anastasia. Thank you for watching and for sharing your kind words. I hope it helps you to get a little closer to your goal. :)
I have MS and your correct, I need to be more smarter, having more to do is very tiring, Im busy all the time but I need to do a schedule! new sub, a small youtuber!
Thank you! Amazing videos, very helpful! Dealing with MS, and your suggestions and videos are excellent. Please keep on with your advice and exercise, etc.
Thank you for watching! I hope it helps. Please share any suggestions for future videos focused on multiple sclerosis :)
I have #lupus and #fatigue is my number 1 issue. Thank you for your ideas. I will keep a journal and I am also learning about the Spoon Theory. Live Smarter, not harder. Thank you!
Do you mind if I ask how you were diagnosed? I have sjogrens syndrom but i think i may also have lupus; the two conditions often coexist and i have symptons of lupus. The fatigue is something else.
Great video...love that I always find answers. I have fibromyalgia so when I first started therapy after my stroke I was in pain and exhausted but managing much better now. Thank you Dr. Tobias😊
Thanks for watching Yvette!! It is so good to read all of the different experiences. It is amazing to me that truly no to people respond to stroke the same. That is why I love love love those of you who are willing to share. :)
Great video, have been doing almost everything you suggested inadvertently. I would suggest you do a video on resting tone of affected muscles after a stroke. We, all, suffered change in testing tone of muscles. Thanks dr. T.
Important right there
Thank you! I am always looking for ways to help my MS fatigue.
Thanks for watching! I hope it was helpful. Let me know if. you have any questions so I can make sure and answer them in future videos :)
Me too. Diagnosed with MS ten years ago.
Just watched this video again. Don’t think or see that I commented earlier, but I appreciate this video (like so many others). I am always interested in improving/maximizing energy!
Thanks for sharing..
I would like to thank you for all the useful information. This has helped me a lot, but I was wondering if you can post more videos of Ataxia because they are really helpful for me. Thank you so much for sharing infromation like this.
Another great video, thank you.
Thanks Fred! I hope it was helpful :)
@@rehabhqofficial yes ma'am as always.
5 years post stroke, Sertraline for a chemical Nero-imbalance (like you talked about) for mental health & Hypertension Meds. Naps are good at 68 years of age and good nights sleep without bathroom breaks. Working "Smarter not Harder" Priorities & Less stress Thanks Dr. T.
It's my 4th month post stroke, and for the past 2 days I've been feeling exhausted regardless of whether I slept 7-8 hours already. My mind tells me I maintain my PT excercises, i.e. walking & stretching - yet it’s not happening as “yawning” and resting/napping controls me now. Am doing my own research on this hence I encountered this video. Thank you Doc.
How are you doing now?
Thank You- I feel inspired all over again! A short book that helped me in the beginning- 3 years ago- was "Healing & Happiness after a stroke" by Kari Dahlgren-- shares some of your ideas.
"Depression is anger turned inward" - i heard Dr melfi say that on The Sopranos haha
I have been so tired, and can’t find. Anything to help me all I do is pray and cry thank you for your help I watch you on u tube and you help.
I can only imagine how frustrating this must be. Neurologic fatigue is the worst. Hang in there and talk to your healthcare team about this! They have lots of tips and tricks that might be helpful 😊
bless u and loved once
please do a video on speech problems from stroke and facial nerve therapy PLEASE
Thank u though
it was a great video, can u please guide regarding how exercise can decrease fatigue?
Dr tara I miss you
I'm frist time here. Wow! Thank you.. It's help me a lot. Especially now here in the Philippines the situation is not easy to go to the hospital for check up. Because of pandimic. I'm 50yrs old. Im not a stroke patients. But my situation is same like a stroke..i have sublaxation in my left arm and totally lost my movements. Pls advice me what to do. Thank you.. God bless...
I suffered from fatigue for decades. I was tested for diabetes. I saw psychologists. Nothing helped. I accidentally came across a magazine article about something called Hidden Food Allergies (Intolerances). I found out that many people have a delayed reaction to some of the food proteins in processed foods. I have an intolerance to the Corn Protein (High Fructose Corn Syrup , Corn Starch , etc.) and Dairy Products. Some people have a sensitivity to the Soy Protein. This is controversial in Mainstream Medicine because they don’t have the 50,000 layers of proof they require yet. This is something under the purview of Integrative Medicine. Many major universities have an Integrative Medicine Department (Johns Hopkins , Duke University , University of Arizona , etc.)
Doc, that’s something I have never gotten mad about my situation, I don’t know how to do it 🤷♂️
Steve, I am so happy! And just knowing how motivated you are, I can believe this about you :). Just know you are the exception to the rule. Keep being the inspiration on this channel that so many people need!! Oh, and keep up the great work with your walking!!!
Goood Day Dra.Tobias,
I just wannna ask about some exercise for the medial meniscus tear.?
Can you please suggest specific exercises for scapula?
I have all 3 types of fatigues!! 🤷🏻♀️
The bubbles in the grief image need to all point to each other and not just in a cyclical order. Having had cancer twice and now recovering from a stroke I can tell you with some authority you may experience one or more of the symptoms simultaneously and you might cycle through different symptoms at different times of the day. Dealing with a serious diagnosis/event can be a real emotional rollercoaster and often requires professional help.
I've lost the natural ability of arm swing when I walk. I feel this is neurlogical directly tied to the MS and the deteration/damage this has caused. Is there anyway this will ever return or is it gone for good? I've tried researching it but have not found anything as of yet. Thank you for your videos, you are a angel on earth far as I think....bless you and all you do to help.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story! I have a video in the works on arms swing so stay tuned :)
I don't have MS, I have had a stroke. I had to consciously make my arms swing correctly with the correct leg. i would not say it is automatic now, but a lot of walking has helped to reinforce it.
I have Sjögrens syndrome and iron deficient anaemia. I am being tested for lupus. Some days I cant get out of bed, not for a lack of will, but because I physically am barely able to move or think straight. I have no energy. If on my better days I am productive or, gasp, dare to have a bit of fun, I pay dearly for it the next. This is all very recent and I'm frustrated and upset. I'm not yet forty and I feel twice my age. Sorry about moaning. Today was a bad day.
Is a lot of rest important in the recover of a mini stroke
Driving in a car was crazy scary as objects flee by
Thanks alot my daughter has led sided paralysis due to brain AVM .is it curable ??
We are dealing with corticobasal syndrome in our family and I am appalled by the inability of the neurologists we have consulted to connect the benefits of physiotherapies to the patient's well being and how that well being could enhance the patient's longevity and happiness. CBS doesn't just have to "run its course!" The course can be altered with therapies that recover some of what has been lost and delay what might come next. What is the problem here?
I agree, in an ideal world, MDs would see the value in physical therapy for degenerative and/or progressive disorders. Sometimes it just takes asking the MD for a script. But that means families need to have the insight that you have. I hope with this channel I can give families the insight you have gained so that they can go to their MD and ask for a referral. Of note, in most states you can see a PT without a referral.
Mam I sleep 10 min after 1 hour study doctor recommended modafinil but headache increase but problem still exist please help me to overcome dizziness and daytime sleep
must go go go
Dr. T, while you aren't prescribing meds for me, I've never heard of meds for spasticity. I get Botox in a few areas of my body, yet that's muscle tone, not spasticity. Are these meds specifically meant for treating certain neuroligical conditions?
I know, one of the fellow who was with me in rehabilitation hospital takes CBD oil for it. See if it works for you. In some states its legal for medicinal reasons now.
That is an excellent question! Yes, there are oral medications for spasticity however if you ar e not on them it is a non issue. Botox is ideal because it can be localized to the muscle versus oral medication which can effect other areas of the body.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE WONDERFUL! I continue to struggle with opening my hand, finger extension. I do an aggressive amount of larger muscle therapy every day on my own. Could it be that by doing so much on my own at the gym is causing my hand/arm to be too tired? Had a stroke on 1/3/19, lost all of left side but am battling back. and can use my arm and hand for exercises like rows, pulldowns, press downs but I need to assist opening the hand to grip the bar. I also use a towel to push up a door jam since I'm still having challenges with an overhead press. Am I doing too much on my own? At home, I pick up small pebbles of dog food with each finger and drop into a cup (250-300 daily) as well as hang the hand off the table and rotate my wrist up while trying to open. What do you think?

Thank you for watching and for sharing your story! This video might help to answer some of your questions: czcams.com/video/HIrSWm70MBo/video.html
Hello Scott. These are helping me (1) My OT recommended wearing a wrist/hand brace during sleep and it seems to help. (2) Also washing dishes with hot water seems to help. These days sometimes I am able to use the keyboard with 2 hands now. Small world... I had my stroke on 1/3/19, too. Best wishes.
My old pt said that I have a high metabolism, would that make me tired
Possibly. Someone brought up nutrition on my instagram post. Nutrition definitely plays a role. I plan to do an entire video on this :)
@@rehabhqofficial I have no control over what I eat, I have to eat whatever is made by my caregiver
#meditation
I m tired of my excessive fatigue I can even sit in class my energy levels drop within 5 min
How cool will it be tohve Dr taraas my one to one phydio
Does masturbation cause fatigue?
If you do it alot I think it does, you can always stop for at least 2 weeks and see
Anyone else here with MS? Want to be friends?
Lots of people in this community with MS. I would think that you would have some replies by now. Hopefully some of them will comment. In any case, welcome to this community. Feel free to share any MS related problems you are dealing with and I will try and talk about them in future videos :)
@@rehabhqofficial I do wonder when to use different mobility aides. I currently use a walker, however my spasticity is so bad in both legs that walking is very hard, and stairs are impossible. I want to get stronger, and get rid of my spasticity, however would it be better for me to use a wheelchair right now? I'm thinking in regards to teaching my body and brain bad things, continuing to use bad synergy patterns.
@@tbonegddss This is an excellent topic for a future video!! Thanks for your input. Choosing the best mobility aides and bracing at the appropriate time is very much an art more than a science. In either case, I have some suggestions to help you with these decisions :)
I have MS. Diagnosed in 2013.
Not employed, walk with a cane. 🤷🏻♀️
@@OksanaWorking0243 thank you for your reply! I have moved on to an electric wheelchair.
This women knows NOTHING about neuro fatigue. I never wake up with more energy than the afternoon, and I do everything right to get a good sleep.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback. I completely understand! I will agree this strategy will not work for everyone. Fatigue is a horribly frustrating part of many neurologic conditions. Keep searching and I hope you can find answer that will help you 😊
her voice is killing me ,can you pls tell 100 words sound like one all the time
Will come back it’s been a year I got my income taxes together had a nap after that walk a half mile then sit down and go to sleep will it go away keep pushing should I try to make it all day I have gone zombie I want over this
