What has the concussion specialist done to try to help you recover ?
What are you doing to try to recover ?
Are you still taking/attending all your classes at school ?
What do you do when your brain gets tired and heavy ?
Are you taking any meds or consuming energy drinks, etc ?
How is your sleep ?
What is you home life like ? Noisy siblings ? TV or video games blaring ?
The usual protocol for recovery is a low stress life. Minimal screen time. Minimal chaotic sounds and visuals. Moderated physical exertion so there is good blood flow to the brain but not too much physical effort/stress.
We are here to try to help.
My best to you.

Hi mark, I'm going to try to answer most of your questions as best as possible.
Well first, I'm taking omega 3 fish oil pills everday of1000mg, and super b 12 complex vitamins of 500 mg per day.
The concussion specialist has done all sorts of things to help, he has tried different medicines (that did not work), gave me tips on taking good care of my brain while it's tryig to heal, and tries to answer most of my questions.
Now for school, oh school. School has been probably the worst part of my pcs experience. It is horrible. All my symptoms increase drastically and I have to push through it day by day. I missed a bunch of school and did half days way back in October but I just missed too much school so I am forced to go. my grades changed from As and Bs to Cs and Ds because of it. And it just makes me more depressed.
My house, no one really besides my parents know actually how bad this is. So whenever my siblings see me crying or complaining about it they just yell at me and tell me to man up. And my house life is very lazy, I just rest all day and play a little bit of video games here and there. Anytime my symptoms get worse I just lie in a dark room and rest.
oh and one more thing I wanted to mention is that my two worst symptoms are: An dreamy/foggy like state in in all the time, and my brain gets so heavy and tired.
Hope I covered everything,
Thanks so much
Sam
