An anti-fatigue drug has had transformative lifestyle benefits for stroke survivors in a clinical trial conducted by HMRI's Dr Andrew Bivard.

An anti-fatigue drug(modafinal) has had transformative lifestyle benefits for stroke survivors in a clinical trial conducted by HMRI's Dr Andrew Bivard.

Nothing here suggests that this was written up as a protocol and distributed to all the worlds' stroke hospitals.  I bet your stroke hospital will do nothing with this information, they will wait for SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

Your hospital takes no responsibility for finding and implementing research that will help survivors. Ask that if you don't believe me. I bet they don't have a staff person monitoring stroke research. 

I had massive fatigue immediately post stroke and continuing for years. My doctor stupidly said I needed to get more cardiovascularly fit. He never tested my cardio fitness. Three years after my stroke I had a physical where my resting heart rate was 54 at the age of 53. That means my cardiovascular fitness was that of an athlete, even after doing nothing on it for 3 years. Yet I was still completely fatigued everyday.  

Statistics on stroke fatigue:

At least half of all stroke survivors experience fatigue Or is it 70%?

Or is it 40%?
