Tell Your Story!!

Member Story Invitation
For the past twelve years, StrokeNet has been publishing the personal stories of stroke survivors and their caregivers.
Every
survivor and caregiver has a unique experience and point of view to
offer. StrokeNet gives others, in similar circumstances, the
opportunity to learn about your own experience, and how your viewpoint
has changed post-stroke.
We've
all been there, either as a stroke survivor or as a caregiver. We know
what it's like firsthand to be transported, in the blink of an eye,
from our normal lives to a life of shattered dreams and an uncertain
outlook, with our physical and emotional reality altered forever.
