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.

Our Opinion: Strokes beatable through fast action, rehab

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

No, you haven't addressed how to fix any of these problems and only 10% get fully recoveredtPA only fully works 12% of the time.

Doesn't sound beatable at all.

1. 30% get spasticity NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.


2. At least half of all stroke survivors experience fatigue Or is it 70%?


Or is it 40%?


NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.


3. Over half of stroke patients have attention problems.


NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.




4.  The incidence of constipation was 48%.


NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL CURE IT.


5. No EXACT stroke protocols that address any of your muscle limitations.



6. Poststroke depression(33% chance)


NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 


7.  Poststroke anxiety(20% chance) NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 


8. Posttraumatic stress disorder(23% chance)  NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.


  912% tPA efficacy for full recovery NO ONE IS WORKING ON SOMETHING BETTER.


10.  10% seizures post stroke NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 


11. 21% of patients had developed cachexia NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 


 


12. You lost 5 cognitive years from your stroke  NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.



13.  33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?


       Or is it 17-66%?


       Or is it 20% chance in this research?


NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS THIS

 

Our Opinion: Strokes beatable through fast action, rehab 

This coming Tuesday is World Stroke Day, a day set aside to focus on the medical condition that kills about 5 percent of the population.
This year, the National Stroke Association(Please remove stroke from your name, you don't know what you are talking about.) is emphasizing to stroke survivors that strokes can be beatable(Liar). The key is rehabilitation, which can be tedious, agonizing and slow. We've seen our loved ones suffer through it. Relearning to speak, relearning to walk, to do simple tasks such as use utensils.
But we've also seen it work. We've seen improvements. They often don't come quickly enough and only after much effort.
If you're a loved one of a stroke victim, encourage that effort daily, and celebrate the small victories constantly.
The National Stroke Association reminds people strokes don't discriminate. They can happen to anyone, at any age, despite the misconception they only happen to older people. About 25 percent of the people on this planet will have a stroke in their lifetime.
The good news is that rehabilitation, along with modern medicine, has improved greatly. But it takes a team effort between the stroke victims, their families and the rehabilitation team.
Stroke treatment begins as soon as you suspect yourself or your loved one of having a stroke. Every minute counts, which is why the association promotes FAST. The acronym stands for:
Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven?
Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "The sky is blue."
Time to Call 9-1-1: If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get to a hospital immediately.
Adherence to these tips can greatly minimize the effects of strokes, and cause the needed rehabilitation to be quicker and less tedious.
