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.

stroke survivors and OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors.
This is not really a disease for survivors but I would say we have to work on the repetitive behaviors without fail.  I open and close my fingers while riding in a car, watching TV or a movie, while listening to someone talk to me. going to sleep. Other movements are not quite so obvious but they continue regardless of the situation. My therapy is more important than the disapproving stares of people.
These are actually wanted thoughts and behaviors.
Keep them up.

    If we didn't need to do these exercises so often, we wouldn't. I write done most info. I get even though there's a good possibility that I'll remember it. However, I do believe the eye and hand coordination along with what the brain is doing with the memory are all connected somehow.
