Erin's story
When I called the Stroke Association Helpline I was having difficulties coping with a lot of things. It was a friendly voice at the other end of the phone. They helped me accept that this has happened to me and this is now who I am.
Baz's story
I woke up and everything was spinning. I lost my mobility, vision and speech. For months afterwards I felt horrible. The work it took me to get into the position I’m in now is unbelievable.
Claire's story
I was in a café and I felt so nervous. That's when I went on to My Stroke Guide on my phone. I spoke about how I was feeling in the forum, and someone said: "don't worry Claire it's completely natural, I have that every day." For me, that was huge just to get that relief, and it made me carry on through.
Max's story
It was my seventh birthday party. But I got a pain on the right side of my head. I couldn’t cry because I lost my voice.
Alaire's story
My volunteering helps me to focus on something other than myself. The role gives me some purpose and makes me feel useful.
Simon's story
My mum’s stroke left her unable to speak or understand. Please have difficult conversations with your loved ones so you know what their wishes are.
