I don't think 'our' stroke associations and survivors agree on the problem of stroke. Stroke associations seem to focus on prevention messages and F.A.S.T. Survivors just want to recover. With this disconnect survivors will never be served well by current stroke associations.
A good discussion on this by Seth Godin:

One key paragraph.
Often, the reason people don't want to agree on a problem is that it's
frightening to acknowledge a problem if we don't know that there's a
solution, as if saying the problem out loud makes it more real, more
likely to undermine our lives.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
