My mother had a SLE that lasted a couple of days. She was given a

glucose IV and things improved rapidly. Her neuro said that this is

the treatment, as a SLE is usually due to a lack of energy in the

brain cells and the quicker there is the added fuel, the less likely

the cells will die and leave permanent damage. They were treating her

for a regular stroke as she didn't yet have her mito diagnosis.
