Deans' stroke musings: Stress increases risk for Alzheimer's precursor in older adults

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.

Stress increases risk for Alzheimer's precursor in older adults

So don't stress about your total lack of information on how you are getting to 100% recovery. Maybe you want to try ecstacy for your PTSD. Just kidding, I have NO medical background, don't listen to me.

Older people who feel stressed have a 30% greater risk for amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI)—a type of memory loss that’s often a harbinger of Alzheimer’s disease. But stress can be reduced, so treating stress may help prevent the onset of aMCI and Alzheimer’s dementia, according to results from the Einstein Aging Study, published online December 15, 2015 in the journal Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders.
