Kristin Brickel: From Migraines to Hemorrhagic Stroke - A Journey of Healing

Kristin Brickel always thought her migraines were just that—migraines. But one day in March 2020, her headache turned out to be something far more serious: a hemorrhagic stroke. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Kristin opens up about her harrowing experience and the path she's been on ever since.
