Deans' stroke musings: Bizarre texts could be sign of stroke or other health problems

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.

Bizarre texts could be sign of stroke or other health problems

This is just the latest in the bizarre manifestation of do-it-yourself stroke identification. There's also the inability to stick out your tongue straight. The theory must be that you as a patient must know when you started having stroke symptoms because your medical doctor does not have the tools to determine start time and OMG, you have 4.5 hours to get the miracle drug tPA, which no one will tell you its efficacy. If our medical staff would just work on finding useful hyperacute therapies that can work in the days following stroke, we wouldn't have this crisis mentality.My list here:
I've even conveniently compiled 162 options for you to give to your doctors/researchers.

Hyperacute options for stroke
