I notice even to this day that when fatigue or stress sets in, my speech is affected. But even that being said, there is no other treatment of its kind. And in 1998 and now, it was and is by far the most effective treatment of this kind of stroke if delivered properly.Jeff Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484782717583354425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19786291.post-82329379972747939352011-12-24T15:58:09.622-06:002011-12-24T15:58:09.622-06:00What I wish doctors and researchers would acknowle...What I wish doctors and researchers would acknowledge is that tPA doesn't work very well. I saw a 32% efficacy in the 3 hour period and 16% efficacy in the 3-4.5 hour period. And besides it doesn't stop the cascade of neuronal death from glutamate poisoning, excitotoxicity and the closed capillaries due to pericytes. My doctor told me I didn't get the fast recovery, I would have to hold out for the slow rehab recovery, and I got it within 90 minutes.oc1deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302555382262295577noreply@blogger.com
