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 Started as a Headache Was Actually a Stroke

Once again proving that we need a totally objective diagnosis of stroke. And I dislike the focus on the headache, headaches do not always precede stroke.
Maybe when we get actual objective diagnosis when these come online:
1. Star Trek-style 'tricorder' invention offered $10m prize
2. Strokefinder quickly differentiates bleeding strokes from clot-induced strokes
3.  One of these 17 ways still need to be be proven for fast and objective diagnosis.

Too shaken up to drive, she called her husband, Bill, to come get her and take her back to their Gambrills, MD home. But when Bill arrived, he insisted they go to a hospital emergency room right away.

A CT scan revealed a spot on Amy’s brain, but the diagnosis was unclear. After recommending she see a neurologist in the next few weeks, the doctor released her.

Contact that hospital to see if they started researching objective diagnosis of strokes. Or are they waiting for someone else to actually do the work?  This was a complete failure on the part of the ER team. What are they doing to fix that problem?
