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.

3 Ways to Take Charge of Your Brain Health When the Doctor Doesn't Know Enough

No mention of stroke in this but you are completely on your own in recovering from your stroke.
To find out how little your doctor knows, ask how to get 100% recovered. You'll get nothing or the lazy excuse of; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. If that comes out of their mouth, fire them immediately.
Dr. Steven Wolf writes, a rehabilitation stroke expert and professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.  "Stroke patients need to rely more on their own problem solving to regain mobility".

  1. "Stroke patients need to rely more on their own problem solving to regain mobility". I might agree, if my stroke-addled brain knew what "more" refers to.

    "More" than they do already? Or "more" than they rely on anyone else's problem-solving?

    I suppose both are correct.
