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.

Testosterone Improves Woman’s Brain Functions

So its not from a clinical trial yet. Ask your doctor why you wouldn't want better brain function after a stroke.

One selected paragraph.
The authors noted that while these postmenopausal women were cognitively intact, those randomized to testosterone still scored statistically significantly better than those who received placebo.  The improvement was coincident to an increase in testosterone level from low normal to mid-normal range.  Luckily, there were no negative outcomes in this small short study.  If you can’t wait, ask your doc about this way off-label use of testosterone.  But just to be on the safe side, wait if you can afford to do so.

    Thanks, Dean, I needed this one. My husband has a testosterone gel that is applied daily and I have been WARNED not to get any on me, and though I try, that's impossible. Always seem to get some on me somehow... I used to worry--- Now, hey, might be a good thing!
