Let's reverse the growing trend of stroke among young adults. Please give generously today.Learn more at www.youngstroke.org.
I suffered a stroke on 4/20/15 at the age of 27. Because of my young age and overall good health, the ER doctors tried to dissuade me from being admitted to the hospital despite my symptoms. Luckily I felt something was very wrong, and decided to be admitted to the hospital anyway. It was not until the following day (over 24 hours post-stroke) that they discovered I had had a stroke. Thanks to incredible luck, a top-notch medical team and support from friends and family, I have made a full recovery. However, there is not one day that goes by that I do not think about what could have happened if I had listened to the ER doctors and gone home. The outcome could have been drastically different.
Please join me in helping YoungStroke Inc. advocate for young adult stroke survivors and their caregivers.
