Deans' stroke musings: Join us for our 5th Annual Virtual Lobby Days!

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.

Join us for our 5th Annual Virtual Lobby Days! - NSA

Guargantuan F*cking Whoopee.
Once again the NSA proves it doesn't know what would help survivors the most.
1. You stop the neuronal cascade of death resulting in much less disability.
2. For existing survivors you sponsor research into making neuroplasticity consistently repeatable on demand. Or you sponsor research that has neurogenesis helping the dead and damaged areas.
This press release crap is pretty worthless.
3. Don't wait for new research, Go out and sponsor research that will solve survivors problems.
This just completely proves once again

THAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

LAZY BASTARDS!

This is all having someone else do the work. Doesn't the NSA do anything directly that will help survivors? Stroke groups do not count, that's compensating not recovery.

Dear dean,

Are you concerned about the financial impacts of stroke? How about increasing access to medical care? Or improving treatments available to survivors? If so, you’ll want to participate in our fifth annual Virtual Lobby Days event! Throughout the next three weeks, we’re asking members of the stroke community to reach out to members of Congress and urge their support for legislation that will improve the lives of stroke survivors and their families. If you’re interested in any of the following issues, you’ll want to be involved.

Tax credits for caregivers
Access to therapy services
Faster, better access to medical care
Funding for stroke and other brain-related research
Research into new treatments
Joining a Congressional membership organization focusing on stroke and neurology

Why should you speak out? As a constituent living and working in your legislators’ state or district, your opinion can significantly impact the decisions he or she makes. Telling your story and showing how stroke-related legislation directly impacts you and your loved ones is one of the most effective ways to influence policy change in Congress.

It should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to send a message. When your message is combined with the voices of other stroke survivors around the country, we have a real opportunity to make an impact. Together, we can make a difference on Capitol Hill.

Sincerely,

National Stroke Association advocacy staff

We also follow legislative activities in your state capital. Visit our State Advocacy Action Center and find out what you can do for stroke in your state today!
