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.

Why drug discovery is so hard

A couple of interesting writeups on this. I wish I could be confident that drugs to stop the neuronal cascade of death will be found but as Dr. Michael Tymianski, of the Toronto Western Hospital Research Institute in Canada mentions 1000 drugs that showed promise in animal models failed in human trials. I have yet to find out why they failed and what has been learned from those failures.

I could care less about it being hard. A Great stroke association would gladly tackle this issue. But alas we  have non-functional ones like the ASA, NSA and WSO. Please respond with your excuses, I will print them.

This is way too important to leave it to drug companies to figure out. We as survivors need to push researchers to explain what they have already done and ruled out and what their plans  look like to successfully come up with a neuroprotective drug.
