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.

Depression predicts disturbed sleep among stroke survivors

Who cares about this prediction? What the hell is the solution? And not antidepressants.
Survivors wouldn't be so fucking depressed if our doctors knew how to get us to 100% recovery. And they won't be able to do that until they stop the neuronal cascade of death as the first step.

Depression is a powerful predictor of nighttime sleep disturbances among stroke survivors, according to research presented at the Nursing Symposium of the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2015. Sleep disturbances - The duration and time intervals of nighttime sleep, the frequency of waking after sleep onset, and daytime sleepiness - are common and are associated with poor health after stroke. Researchers studied how depression and fatigue affect sleep disturbance in patients hospitalized with stroke and three months after stroke. More than one-fifth of the total 282 patients studied while hospitalized reported sleep duration of less than six hours a night. Of the 199 patients who completed the study at three months, 44 percent continued to suffer nighttime sleep disturbances. Depression was the most powerful factor related to nighttime sleep disturbance, whereas, excessive daytime sleepiness was associated with fatigue, brain lesion size and female gender. They also found: Thirty-nine percent reported more daytime sleepiness than prior to stroke. In 54 patients who were monitored using a device, their nighttime sleep quality was impacted by where the stroke occurred in the cerebral cortex, part of the brain associated with sensory and motor function and depression. While increased daytime sleepiness was most associated with subcortical lesion location and fatigue, quality of nighttime sleep also had an impact. Subcortical strokes occur when small, intricate arteries deep within the brain are affected.
