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.

Effects of double-dose statin therapy for the prevention of post-stroke epilepsy: A prospective clinical study

 

You may have to worry about this. Ask your doctor for  prevention details.

Or maybe you want to go down the keto diet route, ask your doctor for exact details.

Gut Bacteria Seize Control of the Brain to Prevent Epilepsy

 

Seizures occur in about 10% of stroke patients. Hence, stroke is the most common cause of seizures and epilepsy in the elderly population.

Effects of double-dose statin therapy for the prevention of post-stroke epilepsy: A prospective clinical study

Journal Summary

Researchers undertook a prospective hospital-based cohort study to assess if epilepsy (PSE) occurrence after stroke can be better prevented by a double-dose statin treatment. Of 1,152 selected patients with newly diagnosed ischemic stroke who were hospitalized between March to August 2017, 1,033 were followed-up. Two groups of patients were defined: (1) standard-dose (20 mg atorvastatin or 10 mg rosuvastatin,daily oral; 788 patients); and (2) double-dose (40 mg atorvastatin or 20 mg rosuvastatin, daily oral; 245 patients). A significantly lower incidence of PSE was observed in the double-dose group vs the standard-dose group. A reduction in PSE incidence was brought about by increasing the dose of statin treatment during the acute phase of ischemic stroke.
