My story
Learning from others
Every stroke survivor has their own unique story to tell. But many find it useful to hear how other people have dealt with their experiences. It can help to find out how other people’s lives have been affected by stroke, and it can encourage a positive attitude to know that many people make a significant recovery.
In this section you can:
- hear what people have to say about living with the effects of a stroke, and
- read first-hand stories about the impact of stroke.
You may also find it useful to join the discussion forums on TalkStroke, which offers the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas with other stroke survivors and those caring for them.
If stroke has had an impact on your life and you would like to help The Stroke Association support others affected by stroke, you can visit the fundraising and campaigns sections of this website.
