Don't get too upset because the brain seems to have a remarkable capacity to heal itself, although it might take a couple years. Keep yourself happy in the mean time and enjoy yourself . Fun lowers stress and this helps the brain to heal itself. Also, get yourself as relaxed as possibe with lots of good sleep. I'm also using niacin, ultra pure EPA, tumeric, and exercise. But be careful with the niacin if you have liver disease, and don't take it with paracetamol (tramodol) or alcohol. Don't take the extended release forms of niacin in large amounts without medical supervision. because niacin in dosages above 3 g a day harms the liver. I take 500mg a day but when you first take it divided into smaller amounts because it can blow your head off as it pumps loads of blood into your brain (which is really horrible) I now take it once a day with food because I have got used to it. Never take it on an empty stomach.

Now research is underway at Henry Ford to investigate the effects of an extended-release form of niacin on stroke patients. Henry Ford is the only site nationally conducting such a study.

"If this proves to also work well in our human trials, we'll then have the benefit of a low-cost, easily-tolerable treatment for one of the most neurologically devastating conditions," Chopp, Ph.D., scientific director of the Henry Ford Neuroscience Institute.

"Niacin essentially re-wires the brain which has very exciting potential for use in humans," says Dr. Chopp. "The results of this study may also open doors in other areas of neurological medicine, including brain injury."

And don't blame me if the niacin doesn't work, I'm just trying my best and hoping.
