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.

Drinking Coffee At Night Could Make You More Impulsive

 I'm usually done by 5pm. I do coffee all day, takes that long to get in a 12 cup pot of coffee. This won't change my habit, it's mainly to reduce my dementia and Parkinsons risk and no one knows the amounts for that.

I'm still doing a 12 cup pot of coffee daily to prevent Parkinsons and frailty! Much more important than any problems it can cause.

Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Dementia Feb. 2013

Coffee drinkers rejoice! Drinking coffee could lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease

New research suggests drinking coffee may reduce the risk of frailty May 2025

I think I'm in this category:  I never get the jitters or flushed skin.

Genetics determine how much coffee you can drink before it goes wrong

I'm doing a 12 cup pot of coffee a day with full fat milk to lessen my chances of dementia and Parkinsons. Tell me EXACTLY how much coffee to drink for that and I'll change. Yep, that is a lot more than the 400mg. suggested limit, I don't care! Preventing dementia and Parkinsons is vastly more important than whatever problems it can cause! 

Of course, your fuckingly incompetent? doctor did nothing with this from 2 years ago! And still hasn't created a 24 hour coffee station

This line is great: The findings indicate that even the Espresso Martini cocktail contains the espresso's beneficial compounds - and can contribute to staving off dementia.

Drinking Coffee At Night Could Make You More Impulsive

There was a time in my life where I would drink coffee at all hours of the night. Now if I drink coffee past noon I need a nap, but for a goodly season, there was never a bad time for a caffeine hit. Normally that would mean drinking endless refills of some flavored diner coffee between the hours of midnight and 3:00am, ranting about Kant or Kripke or Wittgenstein (because that’s what you do when you’re 20 years old and an obnoxious philosophy major (“obnoxious” here is probably redundant)). This also happened to coincide to the time in my life when I was the most reckless, which I would have chalked up to being in my 20s, an objectively reckless era.

But a new study published recently suggests that maybe it was the coffee all along. Researchers from the University of Texas, El Paso find that drinking coffee at night “can increase impulsive behavior, potentially leading to reckless actions.”

As reported by Medical Xpress, the study was published in the journal iScience. For it, UTEP biologists examined how caffeine affects the behavior of a species of fruit fly that shares “genetic and neural parallels with humans.” The fruit flies underwent a variety of experiments whereby they were given caffeine (or not) under different conditions, including during the day versus at night. The flies were then assessed for impulsive behavior, in particular how they reacted to a strong flow of air.

Strong airflow is a “naturally unpleasant stimulus” for fruit flies and generally prefer to remain still during them. Flying in such conditions is considered impulsive and reckless for the flies due to their lack of control.

The researchers found that flies who consumed caffeine at night were less able to suppress movement, thus more prone to behaving impulsively. Meanwhile, fruit flies given caffeine during the day didn’t take part in the same reckless flying.

They also found that the effect was far more prominent in female fruit flies than in their male counterparts. “Flies don’t have human hormones like estrogen, suggesting that other genetic or physiological factors are driving the heightened sensitivity in females… Uncovering these mechanisms will help us better understand how nighttime physiology and sex-specific factors modulate caffeine’s effects.”

Or maybe the female fruit flies were sick of the male fruit flies bullshit, and since they were so jazzed on caffeine anyway and not getting any sleep any time soon, they figured anywhere is better than here so why not whip around in the wind for a bit? But what do I know, my wife’s not a fruit fly. Unless…

The UTEP researchers state that the findings could have negative implications for those working the night shift, like health care and military personnel, those who use caffeine to stay alert, “particularly females.”

My personal takeaway from the study? Put a little cup of coffee next to the fruit fly trap.

Go on, pop in the hole in the cellophane and have a sup on some apple cider vinegar. What’s the worst that could happen?
