Agreed! It seems the first option doctors go to is prescribe meds. Not even a nod toward a whisper or a wink about possibly, perhaps maybe something could be off kilter in your food... Hell, that would defeat the purpose of having to prescribe in the first place.

Don't get me wrong - meds have their place. A tPA infusion in the emergency room mitigated the stroke as it was happening. I doubt my outcome would have been as good without it.

Being informed and involved is our best chance for positive results. I do hope you and your wife are past the worst. Best wishes!
