Stroke Awareness Month

During Stroke Awareness Month, I think the SA could:

  • dispel the view that strokes only happen to old people;

  • a stroke can happen despite being a ‘gym bunny’, runner etc (that was me);

  • strokes aren’t always signified by FAST (also me);

  • encourage people who’ve had a stroke, and carers to be involved with university stroke studies through PPI (great for some brain stimulation and socialisation too).

Agree. Also the warning signs. Scotia started an incredible thread “before my stroke” there seems to be many of us who with hindsight had warning signs but not the knowledge to know them as warnings. This i believe deserves investigation and knowledge if we are not to be forever shutting the gate after the horse has bolted.
It seems to have been a very quiet stroke awareness month so far……
