After nearly three years I finally decided to see another neurologist at a different clinic. It was quite interesting that there was no real interest in the MRI I brought along so I made the assumption that he was not interested in determining a diagnosis of my deficits.I was asking some difficult questions of him that he had no idea on. The first was whether I could go insane because neuroplasticity had taken over my cognitive functions in order to relocate my motor functions. He said it wasn't possible because the routing of nerves from the motor functions would no longer function because those nerves would have demylinated from lack of use. (What a load of bull - there are enough instances of recovery years later to disprove this.) I asked him if this was the same problem that MS patients have. I think he was just blowing smoke to try to bamboozle me with big words. He did suggest that maybe I wanted to try the RIC (Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago). That won't be occurring because Chicago is an 8 hour drive for me, so I will continue on the do-it-yourself plan. I have been unable to find any research that shows this to be the case.
And the questions I asked will be nothing compared to a high-powered Type A baby boomer.

I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
