- This is to all that reads this. The only reason I poasted this is to get the word out about Stroke Symptoms. May I suggest that while you are on the page just click up there where it says send to friends and send this to as many people as you can. I think that working together we can let everyone know about Stroke Symptoms. shopping list
How to make it
- Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

- If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
- Seriously..
- Please read:
- STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
- During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
- They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
- Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
- It only takes a minute to read this...
- A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
- RECOGNIZING A STROKE
- Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read
- and Learn!
- Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
- Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simplequestions:
- S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
- T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
- (i.e. It is sunny out today)
- R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
- If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks,
- call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
- New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
- NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.
- A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to
- 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

My Friend, I cannot thank you enough for posting this invaluable information. I have this irrational fear of having a stroke. It's something you hear all the time. My husband has a heart condition and I constantly watch for any signs. I will hang...more
