You can workout now then you say bro? At how many months in could you?......Man, I gotta lift n workout haha.....Im losin it. I did light light weightlifting for a while on the amitriptyline and felt ok....(then I tried upping the weight and felt like a hot bag of garbage again)or which I didnt know what was right anymore since I felt so bad before......I recently read the U of Buffalo Sports and Medicine Concussion Clinic studies and website, which is regulated exercise, which would be cardio on a stationary bike, and it regulates the cerebral blood flow back so it says, since you brains oxygen and bloodflow is wacked from the blows to the head.

I spoke with one of the dr's and I'm debating on going to Buffalo over the summer for 3 months of their treatment. I read that many athletes have gone there and have returned to their sports(which I know Im done with rugby or contact sports) or feeling them selves again.......

Another question if you don't mind haha......what do think about drinking? I can drink sometimes and feel good after getting through 3 or 4 beers......or sometimes I feel like hell, slowed down, hazy like you have experienced....and I never had been a pot user, but have heard good things.....I appreciate the post back bro.......Hope all is well and take care
Muddyriver- I've seen your posts on other threads and have responded, but I'm not sure you've seen my responses yet? I just joined recently and cannot remember which threads I've posted on! I thought I'd write on this one just in case you check this thread and not the other. I to am considering going to Buffalo over the summer to be treated. I've seen other doctors who have recommended and introduced this study to me and personally, I think its my best shot. I've tried to get in touch with John Leddy, the director there, but have had no luck. I was told he is out of town till tomorrow. Have you been able to get in touch with them? Do you know anything about the procedure done there/more information? I'm not from around the buffalo area- are you?

best,
erica
