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.

Junior Agogo reveals he is unable to write after suffering stroke - Ghana soccer/football star

This is what needs to be shouted from the rooftops. All the fucking failures in stroke. No way to get 100% recovered. As compared to this lying meme from World Stroke Day a few years ago.  

What a bald faced lie

Junior Agogo reveals he is unable to write after suffering stroke - Ghana soccer/football star

Former Ghana international Manuel "Junior" Agogo has revealed that he can no longer write with his right hand after suffering a stroke over four years ago.

The former Nottingham Forest and Zamalek striker in a video post on social media said he has difficulty moving and controlling his right hand.

"It's (right hand) better but it ain't like before," Agogo said in a slurred speech (below).

He said he spent two months in the hospital after suffering the debilitating illness on December 8, 2014. He suffered the illness just two years after ending his football career and has been praised for his impressive recovery.

In 2017, Agogo told the BBC Four documentary titled Speechless that he had troubles with speech following the illness which he says has left him lacking confidence and socially isolated.

According to the BBC, two years after his stroke when just 35 years old, Agogo is still visiting the Neuro Rehab Unit of the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London's Queen Square as he battles to find his way in the world with depleted language.

The forward began his career with the Owls, playing three games for the then Premier League side between 1997 and 2000.



He went on to score over 100 career goals, his most notable spell coming with Bristol Rovers, for whom Agogo scored 45 goals in 140 games between 2003 and 2006.

He also helped Nottingham Forest to promotion from League One in 2007/2008, finishing as the club’s top goalscorer as they finished runners-up in the division.

Agogo enjoyed a cult following during his 27-game stint with the Black Stars of Ghana scoring 12 goals.

The producers of the documentary, Speechless describe it as a "fascinating and moving, upsetting and uplifting in its depiction of the isolating and estranging condition, aphasia".
