Thanks for this information. I have one additional question as you may see above. Why exactly can head jerking cause symptoms to flair up in people who have recently suffered a TBI? Is this an causing an additional TBI? From the information that you just gave the answer would be no, which begs the question: What is causing the flair in symptoms for these people?
