defurr,


Welcome back to NeuroTalk. The brain at 44 is much different than a younger brain. It takes longer to recover and recovery is often less complete.

What were you doing when you were shaking your head ?

You are not reading about the pro-athletes who take months to years to recover. Many just disappear as they never recover to a 'return to play' condition. The pressure of big money often causes athletes to return to play when they are still symptomatic.

Sleep is not as important as reducing stress levels. As long as you are getting good restorative sleep.

It sounds like you are doing good if your only head aches are from white flour.

My best to you.
