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.

Treating Post-Traumatic Stress: Public Briefing

Since PTSD can be an aftereffect of stroke I would fully expect every stroke hospital to be sending a person to this, along with the ASA and NSA. You don't really believe that will occur, Do you?
Prevalence of PTSD in Survivors of Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack: A Meta-Analytic Review 
And look at this, an actual treatment:
Medical Marijuana – A Magic Bullet for Treating PTSD?
 Send those emails to your hospital, Only you can change how stroke is treated. I bet your hospital will prove their failures once again.

The briefing:

    As a PTSD sufferer before my stroke, it was definitely a relapse situation after my stroke. The tools I had learned from previous therapy has come in very handy.
