Deans' stroke musings: Janice needs more

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.

Janice needs more

Another press release email from the National Stroke Association. Janice would have much less disability if the NSA would find out how to stop the neuronal cascade of death.
Mr. Baranski, Why don't you talk to all the stroke bloggers out there that know exactly what is needed to prevent disability rather than reacting to it after the fact. I will never support your organization until you change your focus to preventing disability by stopping the neuronal cascade of death.
Mr. Baranski if you really want to do something useful for the stroke world, this would be a great starting place;

If I could do anything as a Health Activist - stroke rehab

I dare you Mr. Baranski.

Dear dean,

Recently, I had a conversation with a stroke survivor, Janice. She has shared with us, many times, her desire to more effectively provide hope and resources to her support group. We’ve provided her access to webinars, educational tools on our website, and information on how to get involved with our Stroke Advocacy Network.

But, like many stroke survivors, Janice needs more.

Janice shared, “New stroke survivors need to know that there is life at the end of the tunnel. There are resources, but we need more.”

I couldn’t agree with Janice more. The stroke community needs more support to build hope and regain their dignity. National Stroke Association is committed to not only providing hope, but also creating the tools to help survivors take the next step in recovery.

But we need your help. We need you to help raise more dollars for the creation and implementation of the support that the survivor community is asking for. We know the stroke community is facing issues with finances, insurance navigation, returning to work and many other hurdles.

With your help, we can continue to increase post-stroke support to those in need. It’s easy to get started today by creating a personal fundraising page. Let us help you share you story and make a significant impact on long-term support for the stroke community.

Thank you for joining this fight with us.
