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.

Many U.S. Young Adults Not Aware of Stroke Symptoms

And this way the stroke medical world can blame the patients rather than seeing that the blame lies completely on them for not creating stroke protocols leading to 100% recovery.  THE BLAME FOR THIS DISASTER OF STROKE RECOVERY LIES DIRECTLY ON THE STROKE MEDICAL WORLD.

Even if you are aware of stoke symptoms and head to a hospital immediately YOU ARE STILL FUCKING SCREWED. 

The current state of stroke is a complete failure. None of the following have cures. 

1. 30% get spasticity NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

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

Or is it 40%?

NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

3. Over half of stroke patients have attention problems.

NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL CURE IT.

4.  The incidence of constipation was 48%.

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL CURE IT.

5. No EXACT stroke protocols that address any of your muscle limitations.

6. Poststroke depression(33% chance)

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

7.  Poststroke anxiety(20% chance) NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

8. Posttraumatic stress disorder(23% chance)  NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.

  9.  12% tPA efficacy for full recovery NO ONE IS WORKING ON SOMETHING BETTER.

10.  10% seizures post stroke NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

11. 21% of patients had developed cachexia NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

 

12. You lost 5 cognitive years from your stroke  NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.

13.  33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?

       Or is it 17-66%?

       Or is it 20% chance in this research?

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS THIS

 

Many U.S. Young Adults Not Aware of Stroke Symptoms

HealthDay News — A considerable proportion of young adults are not aware of stroke symptoms, according to a study published online Oct. 26 in Stroke.

Reed Mszar, M.P.H., from the Yale School of Public Health in New Haven, Connecticut, and colleagues examined awareness of stroke symptoms and response to a perceived stroke among young adults in the United States using data from the 2017 National Health Interview Survey. The study population included 24,769 adults, of whom 9,844 (39.7 percent) were young and included in the primary analysis.

The researchers found that 28.9 percent of young adults were not aware of all five stroke symptoms and 2.7 percent were not aware of a single symptom. Hispanic ethnicity, non-U.S.-born immigration status, and lower education level were significantly associated with lack of symptom awareness after adjustment for confounders (odds ratios, 1.96, 2.02, and 2.77, respectively). The odds of not being aware of all symptoms were increased nearly fourfold for individuals with five high-risk characteristics (non-White, non-U.S.-born, low-income, uninsured, and high school-educated or lower; odds ratio, 3.70).

“While the medical community has made significant improvements to reduce the severity and complications of strokes with early interventions, these efforts are of limited value if patients do not recognize stroke symptoms,” a coauthor said in a statement. “Time is critical for treating stroke. The earlier people recognize symptoms, the better their chances are to reduce long-term disability from stroke.”
