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.

PTSD patients sue Colorado over marijuana decision

And with stupid decisions like this from our political leaders marijuana will never be allowed to treat stroke problems either. This is precisely why we need complete legalization.
You'll have to convince your parents and grandparents to vote for full legalization because  medical marijuana never covers uses for stroke.
My reasons here;
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.

Colorado's decision not to allow marijuana to treat post-traumatic stress disorder has prompted a lawsuit by PTSD sufferers.
Five PTSD patients filed suit Thursday in Denver District Court. They're challenging a July decision by the Colorado Board of Health not to make PTSD the first condition added to Colorado's medical pot eligibility list in 15 years.
The PTSD rejection came despite a recommendation from Colorado's chief medical officer and a panel of physicians. They said that questions remain about how effective pot is as a PTSD treatment, but that people with PTSD are commonly using pot anyway and that the designation would allow for better understanding about how people are using the drug.
But the Board of Health cited insufficient federal research and denied the request on a 6-2 vote.
A lawyer for the PTSD patients, Bob Hoban, said the board applied an improper standard in its rejection.
"The board in effect established a standard that was impossible to meet," Hoban said. "They insist on having a federal study, which in effect is a futile standard."
Authorities have 21 days to respond to the complaint, which has no hearing date set. A spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which is also named in the lawsuit, declined to comment Friday.
Colorado allows adults over 21 to buy pot for recreational use, with no doctor's recommendation needed. But medical pot in Colorado is taxed at 2.9 percent, compared with at least 25 percent for recreational pot. Medical patients are allowed to possess twice as much marijuana — 2 ounces instead of 1 ounce.
Colorado had about 113,000 people on the medical marijuana registry in May, the most recent data available.
Patients seeking medical marijuana must get a doctor's recommendation to use it to treat one of eight debilitating conditions, including cancer, AIDS, chronic wasting diseases, glaucoma, seizures, persistent muscle spasms, severe pain and severe nausea. More than 93 percent of current patients list severe pain as their condition. (Spasticity isn't even listed)
