Fatigue after stroke can linger. Listen to your body, rest is part of recovery, not a sign of failure. Hear from other survivors about their post-stroke experiences with fatigue:

Recovery after stroke isn’t linear — it’s ups, downs & everything in between. Progress looks different for everyone, and that’s okay. We're here for you: differentstrokes.co.uk

You muster all your energy to be social…
…and your brain says: “Nice try.”

Social battery? Depleted.
Conversation? Completed.
Bed? Immediately.
