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.

New York legalizes medical marijuana

Worthless piece of crap as far as usefulness for stroke survivors.
The list for eligibility was significantly reduced during this week’s negotiations. Only patients with the following would be eligible for a medical marijuana prescription:
- Cancer
- Positive status for human immunodeficiency virus or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV-AIDS)
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gherig’s disease)
- Parkinson's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord  (This is as close to stroke we can get, as long as we consider the brain an extension of the spinal cord)
- Epilepsy
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Neuropathies
- Huntington's disease

What should be available for us;
13 reasons to use it post-stroke. 

But then I'm just a stupid stroke survivor who obviously knows less than these legislators and governor Cuomo and whatever brilliant medical minds are advising them.
