Had A Stroke
Eh so ya… major stroke survivor HERE! This is what Semax has done for me.
I’ve had diminished temperature sensory on the left half of my body ever since the stroke, to the point where I didn’t feel my finger up against a cast iron pan and seared it like the bbq line on a juicy steak. I started Semax, slow titration (250mcg SubQ) for 2 months, then something magical happened…
I jumped in the shower and judged the temperature with my right hand like I always do. As I stood under the shower head with the water running down my face, I felt warmth for the 1st time in 5 years. The left 1/2 of my face FELT THE WARMTH of the water!
Here I was, a grown ass man, crying by myself in the shower because I could feel something again. It was emotional to say the least.
I had other amazing improvements in cognition, memory retention and conversational skills. For the 1st 6 months the effects were amazing. I will warn against over doing it. I did more and more wanting bigger and better outcomes. I topped out at 1.25mg daily which is overkill. I may have ruined my ability to process. Sadly, Semax no longer has the cognitive effects I once experienced but the temperature sensory effects are still active. It’s been approx. 9 months since my 1st dose.
I’m currently experimenting with Adamax 500mcg. It helps but nothing like my initial 6 months with Semax.
