Anyone use perispinal etanercept for stroke recovery?

That's a shame this shot did not seem to work for you. I've noted with medications I've taken (asthma inhalers, weight loss shots, allergy pills) that my responses have been sometimes better and sometimes worse than I've seen in others I know. I guess we really are all different.
I'd like to tag some others who've talked about stroke recovery on Connect and see if they are familiar with and have any thoughts about perispinal etanercept for stroke recovery, including @nilosalamat50. @japlok @annie1393 @lindapc @searcher1.

Lisa, I have no idea why am I shot didn't work. I watched dozens of YouTube videos of successful shots that doctor Tobinick gave to people with the same symptoms that I have. However, because to have the shot given by doctor Tobinick himself would have required a much longer wait I opted to have his physician's assistant give the shot. I have no reason to believe that that made a difference. When I got no result I called their office and ask about talking to doctor Tobinick about the question of another shot to see if I got better results and she told me point blank that if I got no result from the first shot they didn't recommend having a second one. She said doctor tobinick won't talk to patients it is very seldom in the office but if I send an e-mail she will read it to him and send me a reply. I have not done that.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer an opinion or results from getting a PSE for a stroke. I inquired about it because my wife has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's and Dr. Tobin has used PSE on Alzheimer's patients and has had some good success. Saw a 60 Minute episode about it. I guess I can offer an opinion by saying that everyone reacts differently to medication and maybe if there is an opportunity to try it again you might have better results. All the best to you @pete555947
