Medical Safety & Community Boundaries
# Medical Safety & Community Boundaries
Before we go further, this boundary is important.
**After Stroke Second Life** is based on lived experience, education, peer support, practical tools and community conversation.
**THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.**
It does not replace your doctor, neurologist, cardiologist, rehabilitation doctor, physiotherapist, psychologist, nurse, therapist, emergency services or medical team.
Members may share personal experiences, but nobody here should diagnose others or tell someone to stop, start or change medication, therapy, rehabilitation, procedures, supplements or medical treatment.
We do not promote miracle cures.
We do not promise full recovery.
We do not tell people to ignore doctors.
We do not shame people for using medication, therapy or professional support.
We do not compete over who is recovering faster.
This community exists to help you:
- feel less alone,
- organise your recovery,
- ask better questions,
- understand your own experience,
- notice small wins,
- support your family,
- learn from credible resources,
- and rebuild life step by step.
## Emergency reminder
If you have possible stroke symptoms or a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately.
**Do not ask the community first.**
**Do not wait.**
**Do not sleep it off.**
If you are struggling emotionally, feel unsafe, or feel at risk of harming yourself, contact emergency services, a crisis line, your doctor, therapist, or someone you trust immediately.
We can support each other.
We can share what helped us.
We can ask better questions.
We can rebuild together.
But your medical team remains your medical team.
