MVTBI,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I don't think you can accept any improvements as even questionable as long term until at least two weeks of the improved condition. I think the reality is more like 6 weeks of symptoms free or more before you can start to feel confident. Even then, you need to be aware of stress and even minor head bumps as likely to cause a return of symptoms.

3 to 4 good days just means you have had low stress levels without triggers leading up to those good days. The focus should be to continue those low stress levels without triggers for as long as possible. Research suggests that the best healing for long term happens during these reduced symptom periods.

You still have recovery to work on to get some totally symptom free periods. It sounds like you have a start.

Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint or even a series of sprints. The tortoise completes this race best. Slow and steady.

My best to you.
