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.

Acceptance of stroke deficits

Never,never, never.
I haven't gotten to the acceptance part yet, where I am comfortable in where I'm at. I have gotten to the acceptance of the fact that for the rest of my life I will probably always be tired and needing to use 100% of my brain all day/every day. There are still advances but they are almost impossible to measure. If I notice  something not working right I'll  try something to mimic  the movement and then add that to the mile-high list of exercises I should be doing every hour of the day.
Of course according to therapists this would mean I am in denial.

    You're where I was after being disabled for 7 years. The attitude got me back into physical therapy at a teaching hospital. Best desision I ever made concerning my disability. Now I'm more accepting of who I am with the limits I have but it doesn't mean I haven't quit trying. I still try every day.

    Suggestion: Talk to a doctor about your level of anxiety.
