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.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Chianti, Malbec, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Syrah,Tempranillo, Zinfandel

These are the nine bottles of wine that were tasted last night. Seven of us got together to blind taste 1 oz. each of these red wines and determine which wine we just tasted and then rate it.  We argued with each other for two hours while going thru two rounds of each wine, ate our potluck dinner and then had each wine revealed to us with even more arguing. Six of us managed to guess one wine out of nine correctly. We learned that we have a lot more wine drinking to do yet to become proficient. Around midnight there was only myself and the host and fiancée left and we retired to the hot tub with more wine. Spent 4 hours talking, laughing and simultaneously doing left arm exercises against the tub jets. 4 hours and the f*cking left arm spasticity still had not lessened. I wish someone would go up to Dr. William M. Landaus' face and demand to know what will cure spasticity. He may believe spasticity is useful post-stroke but spasticity is what is preventing my recovery.

Spasticity After Stroke: Why Bother?

He really needs to relook at whatever research he is citing and talk to some intelligent survivors.

    1. I would be more forceful but I don't want to get into legal problems.
