Different Strokes UK

What are the effects of stroke? Every stroke is unique but there can be commonality between the psychological , physical and social after-effects. How many of these can you relate to?

#WorldStrokeDay #NotJustTheElderly #DifferentStrokesCommunity

Isolation is one of the biggest challenges younger stroke survivors tell us about. In fact, nearly half report feeling lonely after their stroke. We asked our #DifferentStrokesCommunity to share with us what peer support has meant to them on their journey.
#WorldStrokeDay

Every second counts when it comes to recognising the signs of stroke. Knowing what to look for could help save a life — including your own.

If you’re a stroke survivor, what were your first symptoms?

#WorldStrokeDay #StrokeAwareness #BEFAST #DifferentStrokesCommunity

Peer support can make a huge difference after stroke. It’s about connecting with people who get it — sharing experiences, rebuilding confidence & realising you’re not alone.

Fatigue after stroke can linger. Listen to your body, rest is part of recovery, not a sign of failure. Hear from other survivors about their post-stroke experiences with fatigue:
