Stroke survivor passionate about helping people get back to work after stroke

@TheStrokeAssoc Really like this description of a stroke. Short and to the point but covers the full range of effects, which isn’t always done.

I agree Sharon, this is a great opportunity for a really realistic depiction of what life’s like after stroke. This hasn’t happened in recent tv portrayals
@TheStrokeAssoc @emmerdale @markcharnock Let's hope they don't leave out post stroke fatigue then 😴😴😴

@TheStrokeAssoc Very interesting analysis! Good to highlight Logan’s temper and irritability as this, along with poor emotional control, is rarely talked about after stroke and more research and understanding needed

This is one of the most helpful explanations I have seen, for both survivors and their families and friends. Good that you are putting this out there again @astrokeofluck
🧠 Neurofatigue is a real issue for stroke survivors and those with a brain injury. This video explains the reasons why. 🔋Please rest and recharge when we need to. #stroke #survivor #neurofatigue #energy #recharge #rest

@JasonParkerKPMG @TheStrokeAssoc Hi Jason, the more we talk about it the more we increase understanding and that helps us and those around us. It’s especially important when our disabilities are not apparent and the tendency for others is to think we are ‘better’. I look forward to reading your posts!

@adamhayes900 @TheStrokeAssoc @louisefrknight It is so important to mark our anniversaries, celebrate how far we have come, but also remind everyone that the effects of stroke are not short term. We need support and understanding long term to keep our recoveries on track. We are survivors!
