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.

Colorado Governor Names National Stroke Association CEO to Statewide Board

If you are  a survivor in Colorado ask to be named to this board. The NSA CEO will not propose any  BHAGs(Big Hairy Audacious Goals) only fucking lazy status quo ideas like press releases and awareness.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper named Robyn Moore, CEO of National Stroke Association to his Stroke Advisory Board to help shape the future of stroke programs statewide and improve quality of care for stroke patients.
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of severe disability; however, many people are unaware of the signs and symptoms of a stroke. Stroke threatens millions of lives and can have devastating effects on survivors and their families; yet more than 80 percent of strokes can be prevented.
"Every day I hear stories about how stroke has affected survivors and their families and am touched deeply by their courage and determination. It is an honor to be their voice on the Stroke Advisory Board and help pave Colorado's statewide efforts to improve stroke care," said Moore. "I also look forward to working with the board to develop strategies for prevention of Colorado's and the nation's fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability."
Moore will represent the Centennial, Colo. based National Stroke Associationwww.stroke.org - which aims to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke through education and programs focused on prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and support for all impacted by stroke.
The 18-member Stroke Advisory Board—signed into law by Gov. Hickenlooper in 2013— each year makes recommendations to improve stroke care to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment and committees of the State House of Representatives and State Senate.
The board's recommendations, in part, will center on:
  • Prevention and treatment of stroke
  • Rural and urban coordination of care
  • Creating a statewide database for stroke care and data collection
Founded in 1984 as the only national organization devoted 100 percent to stroke prevention and rehabilitation, National Stroke Association offers education, resources and advocacy focused on prevention, acute treatment and rehabilitation; visit www.stroke.org for more information or to get involved.
