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.

Calculator can predict heart age, risk for heart disease - from Canada

I have a 1.6% chance in the next 5 years of having a heart attack or stroke when I calculated it for age 50 when I had my stroke. This calculator is only valid if you have not already been diagnosed with heart disease or stroke. But if I do it anyway for my current age it is 4.9% in 5 years.
The health of your heart is comparable to the average 41 year old Canadian.
But my stroke was completely preventable if my Dads' doctor had told him to have children ultrasound tested when he was diagnosed with 80% carotid blockage. These calculators are way off when confronted with really healthy people like myself.
But if it had not occurred I would still be living a life of quiet desperation and would never have become a pain in the ass to the stroke medical world.
Life is great right now.

    I'm very glad you are no longer living a life of quiet desperation, and congratulations on being a pain in the ass to the stroke medical world. You're my role model!
