How long does it take to recover from a coma?
It is extremely rare for a person to wake up for a coma of over a year. It would take significantly more time than 6 months for a person to learn to talk again, if they ever learned at all. The chances of a person waking up after a 3-year coma and every being able to return to normal are probably zero. If they did, it would take decades and decades and decades to do. Coma patients will learn at a dramatically slower rate than even somebody like a baby. So for example, it takes a baby about a year to start walking and talking. It would probably take your patient 5 years just to walk, and another 5 to talk. But again, I have to reinforce that the chances of them EVER doing it are slim to none. They could be "awake" for 20 years and never learn to walk or talk again. For a person in a coma of about 2-3 months, it would probably take them about 6 months to be able to use the bathroom on their own. It's about 1 month of recovery for every day a person is in a coma. I recommend changing your story to a 3-6 month coma to make it at all realistic.
Question about a diabetic coma?
'the chances are pretty good, now that he is in the hospital. I have a family member who has Diabetes and the coma is a result of lack of sugar in the diabetic's blood system, due to the lack of proper function of the pancreas. Blood sugar can come down pretty fast when some one exercises and will continue burning calories for 24hrs. This is why a diabetic need to check their blood glucose (sugar) regularly. When the diabetic has low blood sugar he will need to ingest some carbs/sugar, usually 15 -30 carbs i.e. a cup of juice (liquid gets into the blood stream faster than a solid) and then re-check his blood sugar within 15 mins. if he is still to low he will have to repeat the process again.
What can you tell me about coma and recovery after brain injury does it involve amnesia and personaliy change?
The changes in him will depend on the area of damage & severity of it. I am a victim of such an accident & it changed me totally, but I survived it. As soon as possible u need to get counselling to prepare for the changes as it will place great strain on yr relationship with him. There are a lot of things that wont be obvious until he recovers some & the extent of injury is known. He will have amnesia but again how bad depends on the area of damage. If you want more info please email me privately as some things are private & shouldnt be public. I am happy to hook up on msn or yahoo with you
How will my brother recover from coma after his brain surgery?
There is always some hope. People who aren't supposed to live do it every day. I'm proof of that. The brain is an amazing thing. Sometimes it can heal all on its own. Sadly there might not be much else the doctors can do to help aide in healing if it's possible though. Time might be the best doctor in this case. Search on Google and you'll find stories of people who have come out of comas after many years. Best of luck.
What kind of medical recovery would an adult have to go through after a year or more in a coma? Would their body have to relearn how to walk and eat?
I was in a chemically induced coma for about 2 weeks due to a severe illness, so I can answer this from my own perspective.Yes, absolutely they would need to relearn how to walk and eat, as well as some other things to boot.When in a coma, patients can’t really eat, so they’re supplied with nutrients intravenously. Because food is no longer being eaten, the stomach begins to shrink upon itself. I was only in my coma for 2 weeks, but when I came out and woke up, my stomach had already shrunk down to about the size of a walnut (or that’s about how it felt, anyway). I could take about 2 to 3 bites of solid food, and then my body would give me the “I’m full, stop eating” signal. This can actually cause a lot of problems for patients who have just come out of a coma, because they need to get enough food to make sure that their daily nutrition is met, but it’s difficult for them to eat enough to make sure they are. So you have to take things slow, eating past the point of discomfort for every meal, slowly stretching your stomach back out until it can hold as much as it used to.As for the walking, when you’re in a coma, your muscles aren’t being used. This leads to something called ‘atrophy’, which is when the muscle tissues start to be broken down:Atrophy - WikipediaAs I said, I was in a coma for only 2 weeks, so my muscles had just started to atrophy before I woke up. I still had almost full motor control, but things were a little sluggish and difficult to move. I image a person who has been in a coma for a year or longer has had much more atrophy taking place, and thus would be in a much worse position and wouldn’t even be able to sit up on their own at first, much less being able to walk immediately. They need time to build up the muscle tissue again.
Is it normal for patients recovering from being comatose to have depression?
Your son’s whole world has changed, and he has no role models to tell him how to get through this. I think he probably is depressed. His reliable body no longer does what it used to, so he's grieving for the loss. He now realizes viscerally that he could die at any time. His immediate environment is different,, and few of his friends are visiting. He can't follow his usual hobbies or interests. He has no power, and he is isolated. His brain is not working right.You might help him by joining a support group yourself. Members of the group will know what resources are available locally. You're not the first person to have this problem, and somebody may say, “We had this problem too and X helped us deal with it “ or “Dr X is very helpful, but stay away from Dr Y.” A councilor may help him and you, if not with any life-changing realizations, then to point you to role models and local resources.(My qualifications for giving advice are a daughter with a crushed vertebra after a fall from a horse, and another daughter with leukemia )
Hepatic coma?
Hepatic encephalopathy is brain and nervous system damage that occurs as a complication of liver disorders. It is characterized by various neurologic symptoms including changes in reflexes, changes in consciousness, and behavior changes that can range from mild to severe. Acute hepatic encephalopathy may be reversible, while chronic forms of the disorder are often progressive. Both forms may result in irreversible coma and death, with approximately 80% fatality if coma develops. Recovery and recurrence are variable.
