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.

Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair.

  • George Burns, quoted in Antony Jay, Lend Me Your Ears: The Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations. Oxford University Press, (p.49-50).

Paraphrased for stroke, ' Too bad all the people who know what needs to be done to solve stroke problems are stroke survivors who are not listened to by the stroke medical establishment'.
You had a f*cking stroke, are stroke-addled, just go sit in a corner while we professionals waste time and allow billions of your neurons to die. 


One of my better rants.

    The stroke survivor community should look at other groups for models of advocacy. The community of people in recovery from serious mental illness, for example, does a good job of pushing their inclusion in all levels of policy and decision making. Their motto, "nothing about us, without us" is taken seriously by decision makers.
