As a stroke survivor, the main problem is after the doctors saved my life, is dealing the after effects.

You are absolutely not alone in feeling that way. Stroke is the No. 1 cause of long-term disability in the U.S. We want people to recognize the signs to get quicker treatment and reduce the long-term effects. If there are any resources we can help you with please let us know!

I drove to the hospital to see my wife as inpatient. She pointed me out to medics who gave me an MRI. They declared my case and admitted me to the hospital.

I had the opposite version of this - hemorrhagic stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. It’s so scary that it could happen to anyone
