OT: Looking for online forums for ischemic stroke

[ellen1159]

Hi everybody. Haven't posted here for a long time, things are going well with my CPAP treatment.

My ex-husband suffered a stroke last week and my young-adult kids are taking care of everything (he never remarried). I am looking for online information about symptoms, treatments, prevention of subsequent stroke. Do you know of any sites similar to cpaptalk.com that cover stroke and TIA?

This has been a shock to all of us and I'd like to educate myself on what to expect. He's still in the hospital, was in a sub-acute room, then moved to a rehab floor, then today he's been moved back to more intense care (regression). The regression is scaring the hell out of my children.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this site offers what you are looking for ...

Actually, I'm looking for a general-interest, general audience forum/board for stroke victims, so I can learn a bit more about what to expect. Thanks anyway!

Ellen,

Perhaps a search on Google with the term "Stroke support forum" will supply better links.
I hope all goes well for you.

http://www.strokeboard.net/ was helpful for me after my significant other had an ischemic stroke at 33.
