Heartists,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

It sounds like you are having quite a struggle.

Your symptoms sound like they are neck oriented. Has anybody tried to treat your neck ? In my experience, an MRI is not going to change your treatment. A good physical therapist or chiropractor who uses gentle techniques can likely help. Some gentle traction and mobilization should be helpful. Icing your neck will also help. Range of motion exercises are often too aggressive at this point.

A PT with expertise, not just knowledge, but true expertise with whiplash and concussions would be a good start. A physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) may be a good start to find the right PT and oversee your recovery.

Your eating disorder will make recovery from your concussion difficult. The brain needs proper nutritional energy to heal. The bad blood chemistry of eating disorders can create a big problem. Finding a way to get on a healthy diet will be important.

It will also help to use nutritional supplements. Check out the sticky at the top labeled Vitamins. It has lots of good information.

How long with the flight to your grandmother's be ? There is nothing specific about flying that is a problem but some struggle.

Please stay in touch and let us know how we can help.

My best to you.
