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.

What happens when your doctor knows nothing and does nothing to get you arm/hand recovered

Walking in the woods yesterday looking for morels I had to walk cross country and as a result I walk past quite a few bramble bushes. With the inability to lift my arm out of the way it drags thru the bushes causing this. This is a mild case, I missed taking a picture of the one where my khaki pants were covered in blood because I didn't feel the sensation of blood running down my hand. No morels were found. Just getting my hand into this position took forever because spasticity prevents me from flattening my hand unless under extreme weight or lots of force from my good hand.  As you can see the thumb and wrist refuse to cooperate.  WHEN THE FUCK DO WE GET A CURE FOR SPASTICITY? With that in place I could easily recover all my motor deficits.

Notice the awkwardly bent thumb and wrist due to spasticity
