Some neurofeedback therapies can take weeks of treatments to see any changes, it that happens at all.
Heya Mark.
My family would have to agree because I cannot work due to my injury and am therefore broke. I would need someone to pay for it. I would have to travel abroad and stay somewhere which was simply financially impossible for me, even at the best of times.

And by family I really mean father, both my sisters are married and taken care of.

My family has the means, just my family would not let my try anything (until now) because they couldn't see my injury. So I've been cast aside as "lazy" and "emotional"

They wouldn't read or learn about concussions and my father's only suggestion was "just get back on a good work routine and it will all go away - think positive"

Naturally, this would simply aggravate my symptoms until I couldn't get out of bed

I've tried explaining till I was blue in the face but they just didn't want to listen or believe it.

I can still hear my sister asking with a nasty tone
"So...when are you going to get over this concussion thing?"
That was like 9 months post injury. Around when I first started posting.

November 28th 2016 was my last "good day"
I've been bed ridden ever since.


That being said...
If I didn't have my family to fall back on for basic support (food, shelter, etc) I would have been dead or homeless a long time ago. My old man will get me soup or frozen food from the food store but otherwise will not spend any time with me.

I live outside of the US in a country with very poor healthcare, unless you get shot or stabbed.....we are very good at treating those conditions.

Symptoms:
can't exert myself at all
Fatigue (don't confuse this with somnolence....I'd pay to have that! No symptoms when I am asleep!)
Insomnia (yes, I've improved my sleep hygiene, no effect)
Sensitive to light & sound
Extremely sensitive to even the most minor of bumps.
Foggy thoughts
Strong lability when symptomatic
Impulse control: I can't keep my mouth shut, I don't know if that's a symptom of PCS or not having anyone else to talk to for the past 2 years.


I was on your vitamin stack for about a year and a half but could no longer afford it and it didn't seem to help me much.

I went to a psychiatrist for about six months until I realised he didn't believe me and was just taking my money.


What symptoms am I hoping to treat? I'll take anything at this stage but if I was given the choice it would be the "sensitivity" to the jolts and stimuli. If I could "freeze" my baseline symptoms then I feel I could live a somewhat normal life but I can't.

If I push against the PCS, it pushes back, hard, until I'm all the way back in bed.

Twice I've come close to ending it all. I'm just to much of a coward to actually do it.

What kind of neurofeedback.....I don't know. Hence why I'm asking around here if thats allright?
