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.

National Stroke Association Launches Campaign for National Stroke Awareness Month in May

Monstrous f*cking whoopee.

More awareness, NOT solutions. What a waste of resources. And with NO strategy resources will continue to be wasted forever.

CENTENNIAL, Colo., April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- One third of people in the U.S. cannot identify a single symptom of stroke, as a result National Stroke Association is educating the public about stroke risk and prevention through a National Stroke Awareness Month campaign in May.
At the heart of the campaign is a video, StreetSmart, in which National Stroke Association took to the streets of Denver to learn what passersby know about stroke.
"We were surprised by people's responses which ranged from no knowledge about stroke to some knowledge of the seriousness of stroke," said Robyn Moore, Chief Executive Officer of National Stroke Association. "The public is alarmingly uninformed about stroke which can happen to anyone at any time. It's vital that the public be aware of stroke's symptoms and act fast to get someone experiencing a stroke to an emergency room."
A stroke is a "brain attack" that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted by a blood clot or broken blood vessel. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of adult disability.
Moore said the association's grassroots campaign asks the public to help spread stroke awareness through several channels, ranging from social media and downloading resource materials to becoming involved in legislative advocacy at the state and federal levels.
Looking for ideas how you can play your part in raising stroke awareness? A unique idea generator tool asks a few questions and then suggests a good fit for getting involved with the stroke community.
"Our campaign gives people the tools to become informed and spread our message about stroke," said Moore. "Even something as simple as posting on Facebook or sending one of our colorful Ecards about stroke risks to family members and friends will make a difference in getting everyone to wise up about the symptoms of stroke and prevention."
The National Stroke Awareness Month campaign, its tools and video can be viewed at www.stroke.org/NSAM2016.
