CHALLENGING: Hope you are engaging in speech therapy, which can be extremely helpful. The drug Ritalin (methylphenidate) has been used to help some stroke victims recover a bit faster. Consider adding a drug such as clopidogrel or Aggrenox to prevent future strokes. Talk to your kidney doc about some of the ways co-morbities can be managed. Sounds best to work closely with a rehab doc.
