Marion had a stroke two years ago. Seemed fairly minor with very

she didn't get back to a reasonable energy level for a year. There
doesn't seem to be much hard knowledge about post-stoke tiredness -
Marion participated in a study in Edinburgh that was led by a doctor
from Central Asia who seems to be one of the few people in the world
to make it his main focus of research. But no useful results yet.


A friend of mine had a stroke several years ago, and the same thing
happened with her. It was considered a "mini" stroke, and didn't cause
her any problems with motor function, language or memory. But her
thinking got a lot slower, and she was utterly exhausted. I remember
thinking at the time that tiredness was an odd post-stroke symptom.
After surgery, or a debilitating illness, sure. But a stroke? Sounds like
a lot of doctors think the same way, and that this is under-researched
area of medicine.
