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.

What should have been asked in Interview with Dr. Stephan Davis - WSO

An email I sent to



sarah@researchmedia.eu


Every communication with the stroke world should ask what they are doing to solve these problems.

If you are going to interview someone like that you could at least ask some decent questions.
Which of these 7 major problems in stroke is being worked on and what progress is there?
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. No one knows how neuroplasticity exactly works to make it repeatable.

Every neurologist and stroke doctor should know about all of these and be working to solve them. All the WSO does is issue press releases.
I'm just a simple stroke addled 8 year survivor.
Cheers,
Dean Reinke

    seems there just isn't enough ''real'' thought-out information on Stroke Recovery Even the local Dr. has practically nil advice, apart from the medical info hand-out's.
