Deans' stroke musings: We're more scared of getting dementia in old age than any other disease such as stroke, cancer and heart disease -UK

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.

We're more scared of getting dementia in old age than any other disease such as stroke, cancer and heart disease -UK

Until we hit the tipping point of having stroke talked about as much as dementia will we ever get people to work on actual solutions for us. And this lack of visibility I lay directly on our stroke association failures. Mainly because they focus on being positive stating that with F.A.S.T. you can completely recover if you get to a stroke hospital fast enough. They are lying through their teeth. Less than 10% of those eligible for tPA get it and it only works completely to reverse all the effects of the stroke 12% of the time. We should be stating how f*cking appalling it is that if you have a stroke right now you are screwed.
1 in 6 chance you will have a stroke per the WHO compared to the Americans aged 65 and over, 1 in 8 has Alzheimer’s,
