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.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month. For 25 years, the National Stroke Association (NSA) has been raising awareness about the causes and results of stroke through this annual campaign.

You notice that there are no action verbs there.
Solving the 10% full recovery failure.
Solving spasticity.
Solving fatigue.
Stopping the neuronal cascade of death. 
Creating an objective, fast, easy diagnosis for stroke.
Preventing stroke with specific actionable activities.
Renaming stroke to 'brain attack'.
Researching anything about stroke.
Creating and updating textbooks on stroke for stroke-related medical students.
GAH!!!!! 25 years of failure in my opinion. Nothing being done here will solve the upcoming tsunami of stroke.
And is the board of directors ok with that?
