tPA?

[Pooky]

If you had a stroke recently, and the drug, tPA, was used to get rid of your blood clot, will you write about your experience?

I know that tpa isn't used for hemorrhagic strokes, like mine. I was only asking out of curiosity. Just yesterday, I heard from people who said that tpa was used after their ischemic strokes.
