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.

Medical Marijuana Is the Cart Before the Horse?

I bet there is almost nothing in here on the uses for stroke. If our stroke associations were any good at all they would have a companion report out on uses for stroke and would be lobbying for complete legalization or expanding medical uses to proven research from anywhere in the world.
My 13 reasons for marijuana use post-stroke. Don't follow me but I will figure out some way to get some after my next stroke.

Does medical marijuana work? The answer is (mostly) “no” and “we don’t know”



The JAMA article abstract here:

Medical Marijuana Is the Cart Before the Horse?

An article discussing it here:

Huge New Review Shows What Medical Marijuana May (and May Not) Help

This paragraph may be interesting to us;

Spasticity from multiple sclerosis or paraplegia: Fourteen studies examined the effects of cannabinoids on spasticity, a symptom of multiple sclerosis characterized by tightness and involuntary muscle movement. The analysis found that compared to a placebo, cannabinoids were associated with greater improvement in spasticity symptoms. However, the results were not statistically significant, meaning they could be due to chance.

This line telling us to talk to our doctor is a complete joke.

 

First, Hill says, patients considering using marijuana for a medical purpose should research reliable information and see their primary care doctor.
