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.

Better support needed for stroke victims during recovery in Gloucestershire

If you want better stroke recovery you demand your doctors and hospital solve the neuronal cascade of death. I'm going to insist on  these 31 hyperacute possibilities  my doctor give me the first week.   Support during recovery is not where the efforts need to be applied. Full recovery only occurs 10% of the time so that failure point should be avoided.

Closer ties with the voluntary sector and health trusts are needed to improve care for stroke victims, it has been claimed.
Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Groups has responded to concerns from one county support group that lost its trained co-ordinator due to funding cuts.
Private physiotherapy appointments to improve recovery can cost hundreds of pounds each week. So recovery and support on the NHS is vital for many victims and their families.
Dr Helen Miller from the Gloucestershire CCG has admitted mistakes have been made, but insists a more joined up approach will ensure better care going forward.
“Part of that issue has come from changes to the system with Primary Care Trusts becoming CCGs.
“We in the health sector and social care need to work closer together and collaboratively with the voluntary sector to look at how we can all work together in a more efficient way.”
A stroke is damage to the brain caused by an interruption to it's blood supply or rupture of a blood vessel causing leakage of blood into the brain.
All stroke care is provided from a specialist stroke and rehabilitation unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Ward 6B.
It means stroke patients can be cared for from the early stage of their strokes all the way through to a substantial part of their rehabilitation and sometimes through to discharge.
