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.

How do you get to 100% stroke recovery?

First of all you don't ask your doctor, they have no clue.
This is the million dollar question that no one is willing to answer, your doctor, the ASA,NSA and WSO all punt on this question. They are all naked emperors.
The best way is to have a very small stroke. These people are probably the ones listed in the statistics of 10% fully recovering.
Then you look at those who seem to have succeeded in spite of the medical establishment.
Like Pedro Bach-y-rita with his massive brain stem stroke

or
Michelle Mack born with half a brain due to stroke

or Jill Bolte-Taylor whom it is impossible to tell how bad her stroke was

Or
Kathy with 26 months of hard work.

    But if you DO ask your doctor, you might as well ask me, because I know your doctor's answer: "Every patient is different, every stroke is different, and every recovery is different." Brilliant! My kids could've figured that out when they were 2 - and, yes, they are very bright.
