What is your doctor doing to recover your 5 lost cognitive years from your stroke?
Did your doctor and stroke hospital do one damn thing with all this earlier research? I'd suggest mass firings.

11 Ways to Boost Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Naturally

This is your doctor's responsibility, don't let her/him wash their hands of it and ignore the problem they caused by doing nothing to stop the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week.

Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Ameliorates Cognitive Impairment in Stroke Patients
Abstract
Objective
We
aimed to determine the effects of recombinant human growth hormone
(rhGH) replacement on cognitive function in subjects with poststroke
cognitive impairment using resting-state functional magnetic resonance
imaging.
Methods
We
included 60 patients with a first-ever stroke for 3 months and a
diagnosis of cognitive impairment who were randomized 1:1 to receive
either rhGH subcutaneously or placebo injection for 6 months. All
subjects were required to receive the same rehabilitative therapy
program. Both groups were subjected to pretreatment and posttreatment
neuropsychological assessment using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment,
serum neurotrophic factors, biomarkers of glucose and lipid metabolism,
and functional magnetic resonance imaging during 6 months of the study
period. The pattern of brain activity was determined by examining the
functional connectivity and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations
(ALFF) of blood oxygen level dependent signal.
Results
Forty-three
(82.7%) completed the study. Treatment with rhGH reduced levels of
triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol but did not
significantly altered plasma concentrations of glucose and glycated
hemoglobin. We found a significant increase in serum insulin-like growth
factor 1 levels (32.6%; P
< 0.001) in the rhGH-treated group compared with that in the
controls. After 6 months of rhGH treatment, mean Montreal Cognitive
Assessment score improved from 16.31 (5.32) to 21.19 (6.54) (P
< 0.001). The rhGH group showed significant increased area of
activation with increased ALFF values in the regions of the frontal
lobe, putamen, temporal lobe, and thalamus (P
< 0.05), relative to the baseline conditions. The correlation
analysis revealed that the ALFF and functional connectivity of default
mode network was positively correlated with the ΔMoCA score and ΔIGF-1
levels; that is, the more the scale score increased, the higher the
functional connection strength. No undesirable adverse effects were
observed.
Conclusions
The rhGH replacement has a significant impact on global and domain cognitive functions in poststroke cognitive impairment.
