Yes - I have a very limited capacity for conversation. Read the blog in my signature to find out more.

The reason is inflammation. If you've had multiple concussions then the brain's ability to regulate inflammation becomes compromised and it pumps out too much inflammation in response to a given stressor. Inflammation is what causes the symptoms so that's why you experience increased sensitivities or intense symptoms following over-exerting yourself.

Take a high dose of curcumin and fish oil when you experience those intense symptoms to help put out the fire.

Lower your activity to a level that you can tolerate comfortably with minimal pain. For most people that's just quiet time around the house but in more severe cases that may mean bedrest. Once your condition stabilizes and begins to improve, then gradually increase your level of activity. Use the pain as a gauge of how much you can do so as to not induce excessive inflammation.

Adopt an anti-inflammatory / ketogenic / sugar free / gluten free / organic diet to help keep the inflammation down. Also try colon cleansing and detoxification because poor gut health causes inflammation in the brain. Many people have a buildup of fecal waste in their gut so you want to do everything you can to stop fueling the fire.
