Sexton,

Welcome to Neurotalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles.

Who is Elliot Clark ?

Your concussion specialist was definitely not up on concussion protocols. Sleep outside of normal sleep times is not recommended past 48 hours. Worse, restless sleep is rough on the upper neck.

It sounds like he/she got concussion training at a weekend ImPACT seminar or similar seminar as required to administer the ImPACT computerized neurocog test for athletes.

I found Clark on Google. I think somebody posted about his book years ago. If I remember, he spent a fortune on alternative treatments and a few more main stream treatments. WC is horrible at allowing many of them.

Getting a good concussion oriented behavioral optometrist assessment should be helpful.

You don't mention anything about your neck. 80% of concussions include a cervical component, more in whiplash events. The inflammation in the upper neck and brain stem disrupts blood flow to the brain and can cause miserable symptoms.

What meds are you taking ?

You need to read the Vitamins sticky at the top and check out some of the links. tbilaw.com and subtlebraininjury.com have good info for you to read.

How is your sleep ? Proper sleep at normal sleep times with good head and neck posture is paramount.

What do you do during the day to fill your time? Proper low stress stimulation is important.

What diagnostics, treatments, therapies and such have you had ?

My best to you.
