Having treated a whole lot of stroke patients I have the following advice
1. Continue with physiotherapy
2. Add tab Citistar (Citicholine) 500 mg two times daily
3. Add tab Cogniwel 1 tab Rhee times a day
Above two to be added after checking if the current medications so if you are not confident send me a list will tell you if the above are in the current medications
4. I have in addition always given virgin coconut out 1 tablespoon direct or in a coffee or a vegetable soup each day so please start the same as you can see some very good results after 30 to 60 days.
Please note this is a slow recovery and it will take time
Next Steps
Continue with physiotherapy and let me know if you need me to review your meds
