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.

Spasticity Awareness Week - Failure again

You can see the uselessness of the NSAs response. Manage, not cure, and they don't even tell you what they are doing to find a cure. They are totally hopeless.
Spasticity Awareness Week
Do you have spasticity as a result of your stroke?





Do you have spasticity as a result of your stroke? If so, you are far from alone. Spasticity, which causes limited muscle movement and painful muscle spasms, is one of the top three conditions that stroke survivors experience post-stroke.
This coming week, we are heightening awareness of post-stroke spasticity and ensuring you have the tools and resources at hand to effectively manage spasticity to improve your quality of life. Here are a handful of things to be on the lookout for as the week unfolds:
  • A post-stroke spasticity infographic that clearly spells out everything from what the condition is, to the effects it has on daily life, to management options.
  • The debut of our new animated video, Spasticity: Loosen Up.
  • Join us, MS World, and United Spinal Association as we tweet to beat spasticity. Inspire others with spasticity by tweeting a story or photo of the things you’re able to accomplish now that your spasticity is under control. Remember to use #SpasticityStories in your tweet!
There’s more in store. Join us as we start the conversation.

  1. Lol tried all of these solutions except for surgical options like the pump and other surgeries which seemed to be last resorts and permanent. NOTHING WORKED! Finally got dry needling and it worked. For the first time I'm pain free.Now I'm working through the contractures to stretch everything back to where it was so I can continue recovery.
