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.

This is how the personality of our loved ones changes after a stroke

Of course there is going to be frustration and anger, your stroke medical staff HAVE NOTHING SPECIFIC ON HOW TO RECOVER! You'll get lazy excuses like the craptastic saying: 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. Anyone who says that has given up on solving stroke; FIRE THEM!

This is how the personality of our loved ones changes after a stroke

It is very stressful for both the person concerned and those close to him. The complications and outcome of a stroke depend on many things, primarily the area of ​​the brain affected and the type of stroke. Some are fully or partially paralyzed, and have to relearn how to walk, speak, and write, while others have cognitive impairment or memory loss, or have a loss of the ability to swallow or control their sphincter muscles. Unfortunately, it may also happen that you have to deal with not only one of these complications, but almost all of them at the same time. It can also be highly variable in how severe or minor these consequences are, as well as how the body responds to rehabilitation.

Psychological and emotional consequences of stroke

Although the seriousness of physical complications cannot be denied, prof brain attack Its emotional and psychological consequences can be at least serious, but we deal with it to a lesser extent. The emotional and psychological changes that follow a stroke can result directly from the catastrophe of the brain, but also indirectly from the change in life situation due to the stroke. A stroke can change even the most basic personality trait. The emotional effects and possible changes in personality are not only difficult for the affected person, but also for those close to them, since it is precisely the changes that made our relative truly unique that made them unique. the Emotional roller coaster Another aspect is the result of the indirect effects of stroke. Oftentimes, our lives change irrevocably, we lose something (whether the ability to walk or our independence) that we should grieve over.

Some of the emotional and psychological changes that follow a stroke may go away on their own over a longer or shorter period of time, in other cases Processor Therapy or psychotherapy may be required. It may happen that the affected person experiences several emotional changes at the same time, and they follow one another.

The most common psychological and emotional consequences after a stroke

  • depressionDepression can affect about a third of those who have had a stroke, and unfortunately it is much more than just a passing bad mood. It is natural and normal to feel sad and hopeless in the days following a stroke. True depression often develops weeks or months after a stroke, and does not go away within a few days. The accompanying negative emotions are also more serious. In addition to depression, sadness, and hopelessness, they can also be accompanied by physical symptoms such as changes in appetite, changes in body weight, sleep disturbances, or hyperactivity. drowsiness sexual problems, Digestive problems etc. Depression affects the immune system, susceptibility to disease, and even how quickly we recover. Post-stroke depression can affect rehabilitation.
  • Frustration and outbursts of anger: Almost all stroke patients experience constant frustration, as it is difficult to accept the rapid and drastic changes after a stroke. A common cause of frustration is that the person concerned cannot do tasks that were easy for them, or that they have been referred to others. It’s hard to process that everything is taking longer, you can’t find or say the right words, That he finds it difficult to express himself, that he is more tired and weaker than before. If not dealt with, the frustration can become permanent, accompanied by irritability, outbursts of anger, and aggression, which can not only hinder recovery, but also negatively affect the relationship with caregivers and relatives.
  • anxiety: Fear, anxiety, and constant and unjustified anxiety are also common consequences of stroke and even with panic attacks They can go together too. Anxiety can cause concentration disturbances, sleep disturbances, insomnia, and irritability. Associated physical symptoms may be a nausea the shortness of breath the fast heartbeat Dizziness, tremor and sleep disturbances.
  • Emotional fluctuations (emotional incontinence, pseudobulb effect, PBA): Emotional fluctuation is severe with mood swings It is accompanied by uncontrollable emotional expressions such as laughing or crying. These manifestations often appear in an inappropriate or inappropriate situation They are more intense and last longer than the situation warrants. It may also happen that the reaction does not “match” the emotion you are experiencing, for example, anger or frustration is also associated with laughter. Intense emotional reactions can change very quickly, and the affected person is crying unbearably one moment and laughing the next.

Swallowing disorders after a stroke: what can we do, what should we look out for?

  • Social ‘lack of inhibitions’: In some cases, a stroke can affect areas of the brain related to memory, which control and regulate our social relationships, and ‘appropriateness’, that is, we have previously learned what is ‘appropriate’ to do and what not, and when and with From. Based on what we learn, we are able to identify social situations and adapt our behavior to them. this is In aggression, tantrums, rejection of accepted social norms, freedom, publicity, It can manifest itself in impulsive behavior. This may be especially strange if the personality before the stroke was not characterized by a lack of self-control at all. It may happen that the affected person can more or less hold his relationship with strangers, but not with family members and close acquaintances.
