When I first started writing this blog 6 years ago as suggested by Peter Levine, my only goal was to beat him in number of views and find and report on useful rehab. Did that in about 1.5 years. The goal changed to document all the ways survivors could be treated better and get a lot more recovery. This would be quite easy to do if we have the strategy and foundation money to followup the thousands upon thousands of promising research trials and translate them into valid stroke rehab intervention protocols.
I can't tell if this blog is doing one damn bit of good, not a single doctor that I know of has even commented on this. And the presidents of our fucking failures of stroke associations haven't contacted me. I'm sure some employees of those associations know about this but are too scared to tell their president.
I know I have at least 10,000 more posts coming since stroke research is never correlated to any stroke strategy.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,286 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
10,000 posts! Congratulations! And your blog does me some good, because I can come here and be reminded that I'm not alone, and I'm not the only one who thinks the stroke associations are completely worthless. And why.
