Stroke Prevention
Well, here I go again, off on one of my many wondering roads leading to, this time, stroke prevention. Is there such a thing? The old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or something to that effect. Wouldn't it be nice to know there was something we could have done to prevent what happen to us when it did. Tell-tell signs to prevent strokes like the signs that tell you are having a stroke.
It just seems to me that some sort of research can determine a preventative measure for strokes like it is for cancer and other preventable diseases. Look at what was done for Polio years ago. Look at the current studies on Alzheimers, they have just about got it's cause figured out.
A study on Crestor has found it helps to reduce clots and can strengthen vessels, avoid blockages/buildups, besides reducing the bad cholesterol and raising the good. I guess I just have to accept the fact that my stroke will not change or go away no time soon.
I have faith that in years ahead, a stroke prevention will be found and one day, Cancer, Heart attacks and Strokes will not be the three leading causes of death in the United States. So much for my thoughts!
