Mark, thank you so much for your reply.

Of course I understand how important it is to not overthink these things. I was pretty calm about everything at first but when my symptoms started to get worse that is when I began to really worry, as my understanding of concussions is that they are supposed to improve day to day, or at worst stagnate, not regress.

I actually had been enrolled in a very intense program that required 11 hours a day of computer programming, 6 days a week. That plus sleep deprivation meant that I had little opportunity for recovery so 3 days ago I reluctantly suspended my participation in the program until I feel better.

I have never experienced a concussion before this, but I do watch a lot of football and I have noticed that despite all the attention on concussions you will never see a player miss more than 2 or 3 weeks with one. Yet it seems from the stories on this site that recovery is more of a process of months or even years. I guess pro football just self selects for superhuman's.

I will look into getting the vitamins recommended tomorrow.

Thanks.
