I was powerless and terrified because there was nothing I could do to stop it from happening. After three months and four hospital's we came home.

I went back in January and then I ended up getting an offer from my dream job a week later. It was so exciting and I thought things would start looking up, but actually it's even harder being in a new environment at a time like this. All these new people…
Etanercept Injection for Stroke
Posted by Kerri Billingsley on February 15, 2013 at 9:10am 2 Comments 0 Likes
My mom had an Ischemic Stroke on 9/11/12. We took her in for an etanercept (Enbrel) injection at UCLA (INR-institute of Neurological Reaserch/Recovery) last week with the hopes of pain relief and for the 'fog to lift' in her brain. The car trip at 8 hours was excruciating for her. It cost us $6500-no insurance accepted.…
