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.

Approximately 800,000 strokes will occur this year resulting in the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and the leading cause of adult disability. As our population ages, it is estimated that the number of strokes will increase substantially. Getting informed and acting fast is critical to saving lives and preventing brain damage.
Since 1989, May has been established as National Stroke Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of stroke. This year, the St. Louis Community Action Network: Stroke Systems of Care Rehab Committee and the Association of Stroke Coordinators are sponsoring a Stroke Prevention Health Fair at St. Louis Outlet Mall in Hazelwood on Saturday, May 3, from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm. This community-education program is free to the public as part of National Stroke Prevention Month.
Health fair activities include free blood pressure testing, health screenings and risk analyses, as well as a variety of other health-related information. This event is an ideal opportunity for area residents to meet with health professionals to learn more about stroke prevention and treatment.

When:  Saturday, May 3, 2014; 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Absolutely everything in stroke is a failure and has been for 30 years.
Problems in stroke;

1. There is no fast, easy and objective way to diagnose a stroke. Maybe when the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize is available. A number of friends have waited hours in ERs until stroke symptoms have visibly manifested themselves.

2. Only 10% get to almost full recovery.

3. 12% tPA efficacy

4. Nothing being done to stop the neuronal cascade of death during the first week.

5. No one knows how to cure spasticity.
6.  No one knows how to cure fatigue.
7. F.A.S.T is actually a failure because even at its best tPA is only delivered to 33% of those eligible and then of those that get it it only works 12% of the time.
