In my personal experience many of the symptoms stay with you permanently. I had a brain stem stroke in 1992. After a few weeks of therapy my swallowing improved and is usually ok, but I still have difficulty swallowing some things. I still don't feel hot/cold on the right side of my face or the left side of my body. The left side also has no reaction to the taps from a reflex check from the doc. Just the opposite is true of the right side - it's hypersensitive. If I'm really concentrating on something and am startled, only my right side reacts.

My entire right side was paralyzed and after MANY months of rehab I was able to walk again - first with a walker, then a cane, and about six months after the stroke, with no assistance. To this day I still keep the cane in the trunk 'just in case'. My gait is wide and at times I feel like a drunken sailor when I'm walking - balance is definitely the main remaining issue.
