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.

My diagnosis of stroke

This is a problem with my stroke. I think too much about all things stroke related. I was never given any detailed diagnosis of my stroke, just told it was an ischemic one. And from reading thousands of stroke related forums I don't think anyone else has either. It would be like getting a diagnosis of cancer and not telling you where the cancer is located. With no diagnosis there is no chance of getting appropriate therapy because the therapists are only working with the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. And as a result I can never compare my therapy to what should be a standard therapy for a specific diagnosis. PMR doctors hand off the patients by just giving them to the OTs and PTs a prescription for ET, Evaluate and Treat.  This is a total abandonment of their responsibilities.
This is suggesting that therapist teachings for stroke rehab is all wrong.

Ignore me, I should never presume to know more than my medical staff, even though I do.
