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 is the biggest problem in stroke?


No, it's not having the stroke itself, it's having neurons die as a result of the stroke and the aftermath. This distinction is what is so f*ckingly stupidly wrong about our stroke associations press releases about preventing stroke.  No, you want to prevent neuronal death. You don't even have the problem defined correctly, no wonder you are so goddamned ineffective.

    Yes!! The only things that could have prevented my stroke were: (1) never taking up rowing and (2) not trying my hardest. What could've prevented me from becoming disabled was prevention of the brain damage when I showed up at the ER. You're right - the problem is defined wrong. Plus "preventing" stroke solutions are all on the patient - as usual, blaming the patient.

    2 things that could have prevented my stroke. 1). Not canoeing or not getting good enough at it to attempt a wilderness whitewater trip. 2). Being told by my fathers doctor after his discovery of 80% blockage of carotid that maybe I should get checked out.
