Deans' stroke musings: Woman Says Her Stroke Symptoms Were Blamed on Hormones and Ignored

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.

Woman Says Her Stroke Symptoms Were Blamed on Hormones and Ignored

Well obviously it was her responsibility to have the precise classic stroke symptoms that doctors normally recognize. NOT THE DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW HOW TO DIAGNOSE A STROKE!

Woman Says Her Stroke Symptoms Were Blamed on Hormones and Ignored

n a now-viral Twitter thread, a woman warned the internet about the various symptoms she had after having a stroke that she initially "attributed to hormones" and she says doctors ignored.

Posting to the social media platform on Tuesday, Tabitha McIntosh wrote: "I had a stroke last Thursday while eating a sandwich. I didn't recognize it, the people I went to dinner with four hours later didn't recognize it [and] the doctor in A&E [accident and emergency] didn't recognize it when I went in six days afterward."

The thread has amassed over 90,000 likes and hundreds of comments thanking McIntosh for sharing her "invaluable" information.

McIntosh shared her story in response to a now-viral tweet from Mark Harrison, a senior clerk with 12CP Barristers.
