World Stroke Day is Tuesday, Oct. 29, and the American Stroke Association wants stroke survivors to know that stroke can be beatable.

What an absolute fucking lie! 

 You have NOTHING for any of these problems.

The current state of stroke is a complete failure. None of the following have cures. 

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.

NO PROTOCOLS 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.

  9.  12% 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 

Really you should remove stroke from your name and cease to exist. You know absolutely nothing about stroke, your stupidity is showing.

 

World Stroke Day is Tuesday, Oct. 29, and the American Stroke Association wants stroke survivors to know that stroke can be beatable.

MISSOURI — World Stroke Day is Tuesday, Oct. 29, and the American Stroke Association wants stroke survivors to know that stroke can be beatable(Liar). Rehabilitation is key to achieving and celebrating all the small victories along the way to recovery.
Stroke survivor, Linda Smith, knows firsthand the benefits of rehabilitation after stroke. The Springfield native was just 55 when she had a stroke. While attending her granddaughter’s baseball game, she experienced dizziness and blurred vision. Since she was heading out of town that day to celebrate her 21st wedding anniversary with her husband, she went to the ER to make sure nothing serious was wrong. She did not realize the gravity of the situation until she heard “Stroke Alert” coming from the hospitals loud-speakers and noted the flurry of activity that surrounded her. Thankfully, Linda was quickly administered the clot-busting drug tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator.
Of her stroke, Linda remarked, “Feeling like I was not in control of my own body was one of the scariest parts. I learned to acknowledge and recognize my progress, no matter how small it seemed at the time, as I worked toward what my new normal would be as a stroke survivor. Having a stroke changed the way I live my life; I know that tomorrow is not promised and that each new day is a gift. I choose to live all of my days to the fullest, to be my healthiest self and to cherish the time I am here to spend with family and friends.”
Linda was the featured survivor at the 2018 Springfield Heart Ball, where they shared her story via a touching video.
Strokes don’t discriminate. They can happen to anyone, at any age - and about one in four people worldwide will have one in their lifetime. However, stroke is largely beatable(NO, it is not, there are NO rehab protocols, guidelines don't count.) through high-quality rehabilitation and patient support and implementation of the Association’s Rehabilitation Guidelines.
“Rehabilitation is key to recovery after stroke,” said Missouri family nurse practitioner, Jacki Addington. “But up to a third of people who have a stroke do not participate in a rehab program.”
Each person’s stroke recovery needs are different. The effects of a stroke may mean that the survivor must change, relearn or redefine how they live. Stroke rehabilitation can help patients build their strength, capabilities and confidence, potentially regaining skills and returning to independent living. Services may include: self-care skills, mobility skills, communication skills, cognitive skills or social skills. Rehab can also help patients better manage other conditions they have, which may affect daily living or their risk for a second stroke.
“Stroke recovery begins the moment you suspect a stroke,” said Addington. “The sooner a person can be treated for stroke, the more likely they are to have a successful outcome.(Really? But you don't know how fast it needs to be for 100% recovery via tPA delivery.)” She advises everyone to be ready to act FAST if they suspect a stroke.
The acronym F.A.S.T. 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 911 - If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get to a hospital immediately. (Tip: Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.)
