Getting busy?
So I went to upmc concussion clinic and met with Micky Collins.
I went through all the testing and basically we decided that I need to get really busy, and to follow a vestibular and exertional exercise program. He said that after three months my brain is not so much damaged as it is sensitive at this point. He suggested I push myself physically and socially each day until my symptoms get to a 5/10 and then recover and repeat all day. This is the first time I've been told to not rest very much. in fact, he told me to do all the things everyone else has said not to do.
That being said, he mentioned I would feel like crap for awhile from all the stimulation, and he so far he wasn't lying.
He was very confident, and told me I will absolutely recover from this.
So for anyone who is not getting better with rest and hiding from stinulation, maybe consider this approach.
