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.

2nd Annual Collaborating for Cures Research, Rehabilitation & Treatment for Alzheimer’s, Brain Injury & Stroke Wednesday, May 1st 2013 Shoal Crossing Event Center 8611 North Mopac Expressway, Austin, TX

Its only 35 dollars to go and if you do go ask them these simple questions.
Do not ask anything specific about your stroke, they will dismiss your question. Remember they think they know everything, do not show them up by quoting research studies. At least not in the general session Q and As.
1. Is hypothermia ready for use in reducing stroke damage?
2. What specifically would you do in the first week if you had a stroke? For neuroprotection or stopping the neuronal cascade of death.

    As someone who has spoken at many conferences for people with severe mental illness (I know it isn't analogous to stroke)I want to reinforce Dean's comment that attendees with questions should not reference their own situation. Speakers tend to dismiss those questions as having little merit. If you are a stroke survivor and have a question you want answered, find a way to phrase it in a broader context so as to expand its relevance to other survivors.
