Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate your feedback. I have spoken with the guide company we're using in Tanzania and they are aware of my symptoms. I have a plan in place if/when I need to come down. I want to at least start the climb with my husband and friends. If I need to descend, it will be with an experienced mountain guide. I understand that this is likely which, of course, is disappointing, but I will not take any chances.
I am working with an osteopath and a naturopath to help my body and brain heal. I have added 400mg of B2 and 200mg of butterbur to my daily supplements. I already take 900mg of magnesium malate and DHA. I am finding acupuncture very helpful for the migraines. I took arnica montana for a week after my accident and my naturopath has just added three stronger doses over three days to address the bruising in the brain. What has been your experience with supplements?
Ultimately, as you well know, the brain will heal when it's good and ready. I find this frustrating as an athlete, where you can actually see your progress with an injury. This is a whole new ball game for me. But I am learning to be patient. I feel like I am doing everything I can to facilitate healing and am hoping my brain responds.
I'm very happy I found this group--it has been very helpful.
