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.

World stroke awareness Day -Oct. 29

My take on this is working for the good rather than the perfect. The perfect would be to have everyone lead a healthly lifestyle and not get strokes. Well that won't occur, so lets start figuring out how to reduce the disability caused by stroke.
Or you can believe in the postings by stroke asssociations:
Every six seconds, regardless of age or gender – someone somewhere will die from stroke.
OR:
Time is Brain
and give your the FAST, Face, ARMS, Speech, Time mnemonic
Mine has nothing to do with those, Contact your stroke associations and researchers and demand to know what they are doing to stop the cascade of neuronal death. We can probably save more people from disability if we figure out how to stop this than from any Stroke awareness days.

Sorry about the stridency but no one is looking at the big picture
