Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Letter to the International Journal of Stroke

I submitted an article to the International Journal of Stroke, it was rejected, I'm sure because I am not a researcher or doctor and thus have no standing to try to influence the way stroke rehabilitation is provided.
The title was, What the future of stroke rehab looks like. Currently trying to rewrite it and send it as an opinion piece to either the New York Times or Washington Post.

Its my way of tilting at windmills, the gusts of wind are pretty strong. I'm also pretty stupid as a result of my stroke and will probably keep bashing my head against the wall because it feels so good when I stop.

    I've been very impressed with your blog and I'm glad to read that you are not giving up on getting your article published. Rewriting is also a great way to improve on it. Could you get a little more grab factor/buy-in out of a difference title?
