Thanks for this question. I'm a Family Physician and always enjoy hearing from patients to get an idea of the current trends in management for neurological issues.
In recent years, there's been a focus on multimodal treatment - meaning that healthcare providers have been combining different treatments together that affect different systems inside the body in order to have a more robust effect on treating stroke-related issues.
A lot also depends on the causes of the stroke as well as the context of the patient.
Some examples of these treatments include:
-Medications - either pharmaceuticals designed specifically to help fight against potential future strokes or medications used to treat another medical issue but which also have side effects that work well for patients who've had a stroke
-Physical therapy - used both while recovering from a stroke and afterward as needed by many individuals.

An iron saturation of 5.64% shows that you most likely have iron deficiency anemia. It would be good to consult a doctor and show him/her the full results of your full blood count (haemoglobin levels) and the full iron studies (including ferritin level).
Iron deficiency anemia could be caused by dietary iron deficiency. But more importantly, it could be due to blood loss which could be due to various reasons. In females, one common cause of iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss is menstrual blood loss. Another important source of blood loss is the gastrointestinal tract (eg stomach or large intestine).
I would suggest that you consult a doctor and he/she will be able to help you further.

Dear @Oxmane44 Topical treatment such as can be used for underarm excessive sweating. Botulinum injection eg Botox can also be injected in the underarm to reduce sweating. If the above is unable to help control your excessive underarm sweating, surgery - thoracic sympathectomy might be useful to help reduce sweating over under armpits. Hope this helps.
0Dear @Icecream71999 you might have injured your ear canal or ear drum during the process of digging the ear. I would suggest that you visit a doctor to examine your ears. You might wish to go to the nearest government polyclinic to see a doctor and inform them if you have any financial difficulty. Hope this helps.
