Curious: did any one receive TPA(clot buster) when having diagnosis of APS and having a stroke?

If you did what was your outcome and if you were to have another stroke could you receive it again? Always curious and trying to learn, thanks. Cindy in NJ

I had a major stroke in 2011 and was thrombolised (TPA ) and made a miracles recovery 😄 You can't have (TPA) for three months as the risk of heamoridge

Is to great ! They didn't discover I had APS syndrome until well after 4 months of my stroke !!!

Because I was having Tia's

Amourus fugax so I was lucky I didn't have another full blown stoke in the 3 months after my first one as there wouldn't of been any thing they could of done fore me 😐

I have had TPA more than once. It is a miracle drug!

I waited too long to seek medical help for my first stroke, so they did not feel that they could administer TPA safely. Because of that, I still have issues with numbness, etc. During subsequent strokes, it was administered with major success. I was not diagnosed with APS until months after my fourth hospitalization.

Did the numbness from the first stroke go away? Thanks

[Michielson in reply to Wittycjt]

No. At the two year mark, my team of specialists were blunt with me and told me that it is permanent. I was diagnosed with hemiplegia and hemiparesis...

Well that just sucks☹️
