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.

Study: Many stroke survivors think about suicide

What the hell do you expect? Simple cause and effect, Your doctors don't give you any specific stroke protocol  for your recovery. This is so simple to attack, you come up with hyperacute therapies that stop the neuronal cascade of death and the result will be less dead and damaged neurons. Enough so that the available therapy will be able to correct it.

A federal health survey finds a troublingly high rate of suicidal thinking among stroke survivors.
Researchers say that 1 in 12 stroke survivors reported being bothered by thoughts of harming themselves or that they would be better off dead. That is more than people with other health problems such as heart attacks or cancer and it suggests that depression after stroke is more serious than many had realized.
The study involved about 700 stroke survivors surveyed from 2005 through 2010. Doctors say that up to one-third of stroke survivors develop depression and the study shows a need for more awareness and treatment to help them live fuller lives. (No they need solutions, not deliver bad news better)
The study was discussed Thursday at an American Stroke Association conference in Honolulu.
