Deans' stroke musings

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!Just think of all the trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 13% effective). I have 301 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:

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's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

These may give you statistical information about stroke but the author really needed to talk to survivors, this seems more like the pablum that doctors give out.  Canadas' strokEngine should be the tops

#1 Best Stroke Website: The Internet Stroke Center

#2 Best Stoke Website: National Stroke Association 

You have got to be kidding on this one I never go there because it has no concrete information on rehabilitation and its obviously for doctors. A seminar of theirs I once went to had this for an answer to my question, ' What therapies are available for spasticity?'  'This question falls under our organizational guidelines as a medical inquiry and we defer to the medical community to respond. '

#3 Best Stroke Website: American Stroke Association

You're kidding, right?

#4 Best Stroke Website: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)

#5 Best Stroke Website: Womenshealth.gov 

#6 Best Stroke Website: CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention
