Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 34,224 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.

8 Surprising Tips for Living a Longer Life
Make sure your doctor gets you recovered enough to do these, my doctor was a complete failure!
Some common advice for living a longer life is sound yet obvious: eat fruits and veggies, stay active, get enough sleep, prioritize your mental health, etc. Other bits of wisdom, such as the “Werewolf Diet,” which asks you to fast during certain phases of the moon to cleanse your body, is neither. But what if we told you there are other things to focus on that aren’t as obvious as the former or as ridiculous as the latter? What about playing cards, learning ballroom dancing, eating chili peppers, and reading novels? These doctor-approved secrets to longevity are sure to surprise you.

My longevity is going to be fun and my social connections will get me there.
(Sunday
is music at Red Cedar, Tuesday is music at Moriarties, Thursday is
trivia at Moriarties; all are bars, so alcohol is involved, there will
be no condemnations of that.) All part of my plan to exponentially
expand my social connections to prevent dementia
Medical researchers say “the more, the merrier” regarding friendships, as social connections benefit our mental and physical health. Studies show having solid relationships can significantly increase longevity, regardless of age, gender, and health status. “Our relationships form a lattice of support that constitutes the largest single factor in the overall well-being of most people,” says Stanford research scholar Steven Crane.
You’re never too old to play! Brain teasers, crosswords, trivia games, and puzzles stimulate cognitive function, improving attention, memory, response time, and logical reasoning. These activities are especially beneficial for older adults, as maintaining cognitive function is a predictor of health and longevity. Playing games with friends and loved ones has the added benefit of providing a social connection that, as we know, can improve your overall health.
Your competent? doctor already had you consuming this Szechuan pepper(March 2020)that sends the equivalent of 50 light taps to the brain per second.
According to research by the American Heart Association, eating chili peppers is associated with lower instances of cancer and cardiovascular disease. One reason may be that chili peppers have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties thanks to capsaicin, the chemical that makes them spicy. Credit: Antonio Santos/ iStock
Read More Books
So I bet your doctor should be prescribing Shakespeare
reading for you after your stroke, and I bet reading it aloud would be
even better. But you better get your hand recovered so you can turn pages.
A study published by Yale University revealed that bookworms live two years longer than people who don’t read. Researchers separated participants over 50 into three groups: non-readers, those who read three-and-half hours a week or less, and those who read three-and-half hours or more each week. After tracking them for 12 years, they found that the group who read more than three-and-half hours weekly lived 23 months longer than those who didn’t read at all, regardless of gender, wealth, education, or health.Credit: boytsov/ iStock
Spend Time With Your Pets
Not going to occur, they are furry anchors, stopping spontaneous activity and lots of travel options.
A study by the American Heart Association revealed that owning a pet reduces mortality rates by 24% on average due to a lengthy list of health benefits, including lower blood pressure and improved mental health. This applies to any kind of pet—cats, dogs, guinea pigs, lizards, you name it. Additionally, tending to animals outdoors, such as walking a dog or riding a horse, has the added health benefit of exercise.
Hit the Dance Floor
I can't successfully dance.
The left foot will not get off the floor with any decent amount of
speed. I can't jump up and down. The left arm is a dead log that if I
get too vigorous will slap other dancers. Dancing is the only thing I'm self-conscious about and won't do.
You don’t need to be a pro on Dancing with the Stars to enjoy the mental and physical benefits of dancing. Dancing lowers cortisol levels and releases endorphins, which make us naturally happy and improves muscular strength, balance, cardiovascular endurance, and cognitive ability. Research also shows that the combination of physical and social activity required in dancing can decrease the risk of dementia. Tango has even been prescribed as a treatment for Parkinson’s patients as a way to reduce symptoms. Credit: FG Trade/ iStock
Forgive and Forget
“There is an enormous physical burden to being hurt and disappointed,” explains Dr. Karen Swartz from Johns Hopkins. It can also lead to chronic anger, which increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and depression. Forgiving and letting go of negative feelings can reverse those health issues. Feeling less angry also helps you sleep more soundly, which is key to your physical and mental health.
Take a Vacation
Doctors say it’s time to pack your bags! The European Society of Cardiology conducted a 40-year study that followed more than 1,200 middle-aged men to determine the effects of vacation time on longevity. The results were surprising. Those who vacationed for more than three weeks annually had a 37% lower chance of dying in the follow-up portion of the study than those who vacationed for less than three weeks. This was mainly due to lower stress levels. The participants who vacationed less also tended to work more and sleep less, which exacerbated health problems.Featured Image Credit: boytsov/ iStock
