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.

Impact of smoking status on stroke recurrence

So you will want to do edibles for your marijuana instead of smoking it.  I'm doing marijuana after my next stroke, it is only 90 miles to Canada and Michigan has legalized it.  

My 13 reasons for marijuana use post-stroke.   Don't follow me, I'm not medically trained. But your doctor will never prescribe marijuana.

Using a multivariate Cox regression model, researchers determined how stroke recurrence is affected by smoking status. For this purpose, they analyzed patients with first-ever stroke. At baseline as well as at the first follow-up, participant smoking status was evaluated. Fatal or nonfatal recurrent stroke following 3 months of the index stroke was considered the primary end point. Overall 3,069 patients were included at baseline, including 1,331 (43.4%) nonsmokers, 263 (8.6%) former smokers, and 1,475 (48.0%) current smokers. An increase in the risk of stroke recurrence was noted among patients who smoked persistently after an initial stroke. Findings revealed a dose–response link between smoking quantity and the risk of stroke recurrence.
