You sound like you are under a lot of stress. Do you have any low stress activities you can do to occupy your time and mind?

A specialist that might be worthwhile is a behavioral optometrist who works with TBI patients. NORA has a referral system.

Your neuro might not be ready to refer you but behavioral optos are not usually an insurance benefit anyway so you need to decide for yourself. (unless this was a work injury)

Many of us do not hold many neuros in high esteem. They tend to struggle with concussion care. Since there are no direct treatments that MDs can prescribe in most cases, they tend to be tentative.

Finding a way to reduce your stress and anxiety levels is the most important thing you can do for yourself. A little bit of anxiety will magnify your symptoms many times over. Some struggling with stress and anxiety reject meds until they finally are exhausted and give in and start recovery. I am anti meds except as a short term effort to reduce stress and anxiety levels.

We recommend serious supplement regimens to help the brain endure stress. The vitamins sticky has a good regimen. B12 is the first start. A B-50 complex contains folic acid which also helps.

Anti inflammatory diets are popular as brain inflammation is an issue to consider.
