daniellemh33,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. It's great to hear you have found good care. That is rare.

What has your neurologist and eye doctor done to help you with your recovery ? Any special therapies that were beneficial ?

So, how did you get a concussion ?

Please feel free to introduce yourself so we can learn from your experience and offer help with some of your ongoing struggles.

btw. The ImPACT system is a very poor system to track the brain's actual healing beyond a minimal level. It works to show improvement in the specific areas it tests but that has little correlation to actual brain healing. It is designed as a tool to remove athletes from play and sets a minimum standard of recovery before allowing return to play.

It is great as a way to enforce removal from play. Studies show that repeated ImPACT testing can be counter productive. First, the test is a stressor. Second, the subject can start to learn the various testing modules and improve due to the repeated use/practice.

Please be careful if you are using ImPACT as a guide to return to play. If you have any residual symptoms, you should wait for them to resolve, even if the ImPACT system says you have recovered enough.

My best to you.
