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.

Recovering From Stroke? 9 People Who Will Help You Heal

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!! Realistically the only person who is going to help you recover is yourself. YOU have to do all the exercises/work. All these people listed just tell you maybe what you need to do to recover. There are no pills, no magic, no miracles to recovery. It is an insane amount of work on YOUR part to recover. These people may be nagging or cheerleading you on your exercises but YOU have to do them. The sooner you learn that the less you will be depressed.

    This, I think is the biggest mistake in this mush: "Just over one-third will experience complete recovery or have only minor stroke-related deficiencies, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke." Really? Who gets to evaluate what "minor" means?
