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.

Some patients still taking daily aspirin to prevent heart attack: 3 notes

 The simple solution is to get the research done that identifies who is at risk of bleeds from it. But that won't occur because there is NO leadership anywhere in the medical profession.  A problem has been identified, the real solution is obvious but will never occur. I've been doing a 325 aspirin for 18 years now, but then I have a history of CVD(stroke).

Some patients still taking daily aspirin to prevent heart attack: 3 notes

Despite guideline recommendation changes, some patients are still taking a daily dose of aspirin for prevention of heart attack or stroke, according to a Jan. 13 The Washington Post report. 

 Here are three notes from the report: 

  1. In 2019, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology released guidelines that recommended against the frequent use of aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease among patients who are not at risk "because of lack of net benefit."

    The guidelines stress aspirin use is specifically not recommended for adults over the age of 70 or for adults of any age who have an increased risk of bleeding.

  2. Regardless, 57% of people between ages 50 and 80 without a history of cardiovascular disease are still regularly taking low-dose aspirin, according to a study published March 2024.

  3. The report encourages consumers to discuss aspirin use with their physicians, as a multitude of individual factors contribute to its necessity.
