Narrative:

We had a 44 knot tailwind during descent on a vector for ILS 30R. We were configured gear down; flaps 30. I; PF; was unable to get the aircraft down to glideslope and on speed before final fix; so we initiated a go-around. I pressed the to/GA button; and the autopilot and autothrottles were disconnected. During the climb; I allowed the airspeed to decay to stick shaker. We promptly lowered the pitch and recovered airspeed. The gear was raised and flaps set to 15. The captain; pm; advised ATC of the go-around; and they gave us a climb to 3000 MSL; and a right turn to 020. We continued to clean up the aircraft. We passed the altitude and leveled at 4000 MSL and finished the turn. We returned for another ILS 30R; and landed normally. We had fully briefed the approach; but no emphasis was placed on the go-around portion.
