Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,116 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Survey: Majority of U.S. adults concerned poor health may impair life experiences
Not for me. The concern for stroke survivors is valid because stroke rehab is a complete fucking failure and nobody is doing a damn thing to fix it.
Part of my Hunter S. Thompson journey; “Life
should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and
loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
A survey conducted by the American Heart Association and the American
Diabetes Association revealed that seven in 10 U.S. adults are
concerned that poor health will prevent them from living their lives to
the fullest.
The survey conducted by Know Diabetes by Heart, an initiative of the
AHA and ADA, asked 2,000 U.S. adults about how the COVID-19 pandemic has
impacted their outlook on time with loved ones and the role that their
health plays in living a quality life.

The association reported that respondents with type 2 diabetes (89%),
heart disease (90%) or stroke (87%) were more concerned that health
would limit their ability to live a full life compared with respondents
with none of those conditions (58%).

“Controlling blood glucose and managing and modifying risk factors for heart disease and stroke has never been more important,” Eduardo Sanchez, MD, MPH, FAAFP,
American Heart Association chief medical officer for prevention, said
in a press release. “If there’s a silver lining in all of this, perhaps
it’s a new appreciation for wellness and emphasis on controlling the
controllable, the existing threats to our health that we know more about
and have more tools to manage.”
The survey also identified several generational differences with respect to the impact of health on life experiences:
Approximately 65% were worried loved ones would not be healthy enough to experience life moments alongside them;
Millennials (73%) and Generation X (69%) expressed greater concern compared with Generation Z (59%) and baby boomers (58%);
Gen Z participants were most concerned about health limiting
their life experiences (75%), compared with baby boomers who were the
least worried (63%); and
Baby boomers reported greater prioritization of their health as
they aged (68%) compared with Gen Z (34%), millennials (48%) and Gen X
(65%).
According the release, eight in 10 survey participants reported that
the pandemic had made daily experiences with loved ones more special.
Moreover, 85% reported the pandemic made them more grateful for time
with loved ones.
Robert H. Eckel
“If you want to have the full life you are hoping for on the other
side of COVID-19, then resume your doctor appointments, check your
health numbers, like blood glucose — and if you have diabetes, your
hemoglobin A1c — cholesterol and blood pressure, and get a plan for
preventing heart disease and stroke,” Robert H. Eckel, MD,
ADA president of medicine and science, past president of the AHA and
emeritus professor of medicine in the divisions of cardiology and
endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, emeritus professor of physiology
and biophysics and Charles A. Boettcher II Chair in Atherosclerosis at
the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, said in the release.
“Taking medications as prescribed is also an important thing you can do
for yourself and the people you love.”
