JBuckl, I'm glad you can run. For me, running was my main stress relief activity before my injury. Obviously having that taken away from me has been very difficult.

I'll try the curcumin and pillow. I'm currently on a very high dosage of fish oil, and am curious to see if it helps over the next week. I feel like if I could just see an improvement in my brain sensitivity, I'd be on track for a full recovery. Just got back from the gym and was able to push my heart rate a little higher (up to 140) with minimal exacerbation of symptoms. I need to focus on not pushing too hard, but even seeing small gains prevents depression from setting in. I haven't struggled nearly as long as many of you, but I feel like having those continual positive reinforcements is crucial to recovery.
