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.

Worldwide aging population and stroke

Looking at the general aging trends, I don't see any hope for stroke survivors in the future under current scenarios. Stroke right now is a complete failure: And nobody is acknowledging that, least of all the ASA, NSA and WSO.
1. tPA efficacy is only 12%
2. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
3. Nothing to cure fatigue, spasticity, cognitive decline, aphasia.
4. We are not stopping all the dying of neurons in the neuronal cascade of death.
If we just triple the number of strokes between now and 2100 and don't fix any of these problems, future stroke survivors are going to be totally fucking screwed.
