What happens to your health after a stroke

Your stroke medical team  doesn't bother telling you that you are screwed after a stroke. They have NO protocols to help you get recovered and only 10% of you will almost fully recover. They will lie thru their teeth about everything in stroke. The status quo in stroke is a complete failure.

1. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
2. tPA only fully works to reverse the stroke 12% of the time. Known since 1996.
3. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
4. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
5. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
6. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
7. No published stroke protocols.
8. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.

Strokes kill more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer in Australia each year alone. But there are also 475,000 people living with the effects of having experienced a stroke.

While most people know how deadly they can be, many don’t talk about what happens to a person and their health after they have a stroke. 

This year alone, more than 56,000 new and recurrent strokes will be reordered, costing the country $5 billion. In addition, 30 per cent of those who experience a stroke are of working age and under 65, while as many as 65 per cent of stroke survivors also suffer a disability which impacts their ability to go about daily activities without assistance.

“Just as every stroke is different, the impact of stroke varies,” Toni Aslett, Stroke Foundation Executive Director tells Starts at 60. “Stroke can have a devastating impact.

“It can lead to paralysis of the face, arm or leg, blurred vision, difficulties in communicating, speaking memory or understanding.”
