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.

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)

A 30 point questionnaire doctors may use to determine your cognitive state.

You can use it for whatever you want. I would use it to cheat on the exam to make sure I passed. Just the fact of having enough cognition to try to cheat on a cognition test is probably proof your brain is working just fine.

Take it yourself:

STANDARDIZED MINI-MENTAL STATE EXAMINATION (SMMSE)

Number 12 I still would fail at. In the hospital after three days in the ICU I failed knowing the date and day of the week and the name of the building and floor. 

The latest here:

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)

But then if you listen to the neurologists  from the Neurology Now magazine  you are given this advice.
An 'F' for Online Dementia Tests

Have at it. Since your neurologist knew nothing about getting to 100% recovery why would you listen to anything else they have to say?
Don't listen to me I know nothing, I'm not medically trained.
