Deans' stroke musings: Lyme Disease Is Now Linked To Stroke in 20-Year-Old G.I.

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.

Lyme Disease Is Now Linked To Stroke in 20-Year-Old G.I.

Many years ago I got the Lyme vaccine. The year after I got it they pulled it from distribution. Reasons here:

Very old data from 1990.

Two neurologists have reported that a 20-year-old man suffered a stroke as a result of meningitis brought on by Lyme disease. Eleven similar cases have been documented in Europe, they say.

In a report published yesterday in Stroke, a journal of the American Heart Association, the two neurologists at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recommend that victims of inexplicable strokes be tested for Lyme disease.

''This is not the first time stroke has been linked to Lyme disease,'' said Dr. Eugene F. May, who, with Dr. Bahman Jabbari, wrote the report. ''But it is not a widely known syndrome.''
