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.

‘Please talk about it’: Patients with heart disease want more guidance on sexual health

 Your competent? doctor has already given you all this information post stroke on sex, right? NO? So, you don't have a functioning stroke doctor, do you? I can't really tell if they are incorrectly including stroke in their CVD category. 

My recreational therapist was worthless, he did nothing to solve any of the problems I eventually encountered. 

Missionary style sex just doesn't work anymore, or the Queens's throne, or the Mare, or the Swing(Look up Kama Sutra). Problems:


  1.  Fingers and thumb will not stay flat.
  2. Wrist collapses.
  3. Elbow collapses.
  4. Bicep spasticity pulls everything out of line.

 

All this is why you need to be doing lots of sex, why the hell can't your doctor get you fucking again? In fact you should be doing it in the hospital.

‘Please talk about it’: Patients with heart disease want more guidance on sexual health

Key takeaways:

  • Patients with heart disease want more information about their sexual health, according to survey results.(The information is out there, your incompetent doctor just doesn't know about it!)
  • Only 5% of survey respondents reported receiving this information.

CHICAGO — Results from a new survey highlight a gap between patients’ information needs about sexual health and the actual support provided by health care professionals.

In a small survey of patients with CVD in Sweden, 78% expressed a need for information about sexual health, but only 5% reported receiving this information.

“A large number of patients, independent of age and gender, really feel that their condition is [affecting] their sexual health and that they currently do not get enough information and support,” Tiny Jaarsma, PhD, professor of nursing at Linköping University, Sweden, told Healio.

Three-quarters of respondents reported that their sexual health was impacted by their CVD and also had an effect on their overall mood and well-being, Jaarsma reported at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. Men were more likely than women to say their CVD impacted their sexual health (65% vs. 35%; P = .02) and that sexual health affected their mood and well-being (64% vs. 36%; P < .01), according to the survey results.

Eighty-seven percent of men and 64% of women cited a desire for information on sexual health (P = .02 for comparison).

Topics that patients with CVD most want to discuss included:

  • adverse events of medications (60%);
  • erectile dysfunction (50%);
  • impact of sex on relationships (47%);
  • anxiety before sex (35%); and
  • pain during sex (13%).

Overall, patients wanted to receive information on sexual health from a health care professional (79%), particularly during annual check-ups (57%) and/or upon diagnosis (51%) or medication follow-ups (40%).

“People with a cardiac illness ... want to know more about sexual health. Please talk about it!” Jaarsma told Healio.

The results are based on anonymous survey questions about access to sexual health information and perceptions about connections to CV health. Jaarsma reported information from 135 respondents aged 30 to 89 years (mean age, 65 years) in Sweden. Half (47%) had hypertension, 35% had an MI, 30% had atrial fibrillation and 24% had HF.

Jaarsma told Healio the researchers “were curious to know what the current status of providing [sexual health] information is, and what patients want and need.”

The survey was administered only to patients in Sweden, so the results may not be generalizable elsewhere.

The AHA recommends that people who have had an MI or who have a diagnosis of CVD and/or stroke should check with a health care professional before resuming sexual activity, according to a press release from the AHA.

Looking ahead, we need “more studies on how to equip patients better to be able to ask their questions and health care professionals on how to bring up the subject in a professional and safe way,” Jaarsma told Healio.
