I really hope so. I just don't recall having to take pain meds every day 5 months into my first concussion. I guess I'll just have to be more patient this time.

Curiously, he didn't recommend omega3, but he felt curcumin was a good supplement to take for inflammation.
The melatonin didn't really help with sleep issues. But I find the headaches have decreased and its mainly brain fog and fatigue that affects my daughter now.

Thanks for the input. I'll be starting on a vitamin regimen this week, I'll update how it goes.
