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.

Afib Linked to Cognitive Decline

Your doctor should know the reason for your cognitive problems, this new one or these previous ten.
Or is the actual stroke itself?  Ask for proof as to the conclusion.
1. Decline in executive control during acute bouts of exercise
2. Time to Recognize Mild Cognitive Disorder?
3.  Low-T in men
4.  Alcohol intake in the elderly affects risk of cognitive decline and dementia
5.   long-term exposure to particulate matter speeded up cognitive decline in older women.
6.  Older Brains Actually Become ‘Full’
7. Mem­ory Loss Could Be The Fault Of Your Meds, Not Your Age
8. How marijuana makes you forget
9.  Silent strokes -New Clues as to Why Some Older People May Be Losing Their Memory
10.  Doorways - What did I come in here for? Study explains why we forget simple tasks
And the new Afib reason here;

Atrial fibrillation carries a significant risk for cognitive decline, even when stroke is not involved, a meta-analysis found.
In 14 observational and prospective studies of patients with or without stroke, the relative risk of cognitive impairment was 1.40 (95% CI 1.19 to 1.64), according to Jeremy N. Ruskin, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital, and colleagues.
The risk was similar when researchers excluded cognitive impairment and analyzed the studies only for dementia, "which is more reliably diagnosed than cognitive impairment," (RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.22 to 1.56), they reported March 4 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
