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.

How to tell you have an incompetent stroke doctor or hospital

1.They use the term, 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. Used as an excuse for not giving you defined protocols for recovery and hope.
2. They use some form of the term, 'You won't recover' or 'What you have is as good as its going to get'.  
Run, run, run away from these assholes.
3. They tell you you're going to fully recover with no details as to why they know that. If they give you this they are being disingenuous. Think Scott Carpenter.
4. They do nothing in the first week, never mentioning the neuronal cascade of death.
5. They don't know how to get rid of  'tone' or spasticity. They can't even define or describe it to you in laymans' terms.
6. Nothing is said about their results in getting patients to full recovery.
7. Nothing is done to provide hope or motivation.
8. No specific map is shown of the dead vs. damaged neurons.

I personally don't think there is a competent stroke hospital anywhere in the world. Please comment and prove me wrong.
