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.

Lake Regional forum addresses stroke recovery -Osage Beach, Missouri

Those of you in the area need to attend and ask very difficult questions.
Don't expect them to know very much.
Starting with;
1. What are you doing to stop the neuronal cascade of death in the first week? Use this as a starting point;
What I am going to insist I get after my next stroke

2. What are your stroke recovery protocols like/based upon?
3.  How many of your patients get to 100% recovery?
4. How many die in the first 30 days? Compared to the state average?
5.  Is hypothermia being used in the ambulance? Why not?
14 possibilities here;

Send them your questions ahead of time otherwise they won't even attempt to answer.
This is part of your paying it forward. Do it!
