fyi,

I have read the Mayo Clinic's online resource about concussion and mTBI. I was shocked to see they are no better than the average family practice doctor. They downplay the long term symptoms of concussion.

Hopefully, they have a doctor or two who knows more than the online comments.

If a specialist says you are fine in their specialized area, don't completely excuse that specialty. The ENT said my nystagmus test was normal but a PM&R doc ( Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) saw that I had a problem with horizontal nystagmus, a common symptom of brain injury (and intoxication)

The neurologists rarely do a thorough enough neurological work-up. They very rarely do a Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) thai is used to check memory functions. Research shows that some neuro tests will start out normal but if continued over an extended period, cause a fatigue that leads to a positive result ( symptomatic ) in that specific neurological test.

Concussion needs a much more thorough and consistent way of being diagnosed. The medical and psychological professions are still fighting over this territory. At least a neuro-psych assessments can identify the dysfunctions, even if it may miss on causation.

Regarding the B vitamins, I take ten times the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of B-12 and B-6. Most B-complex are at RDA unless they are a B-50 or B-100 complex. Toni is right at taking it multiple time during the day. I only take in the AM. My forgetfulness make the AM tough enough. I have zip lock snack bags filled with 24 pieces. Now, that is a mouthful. And yes, I can take them all at once, including the 6 horse pills. Gulp.

Don't forget D3 and the minerals, especially the trace elements. Magnesium helps with sleep.

Be careful with your doctors' appointments. If you develop a medical record of too many visits with no problems found, it can be used against you. You want to avoid the dreaded word "somatoform" in your medical record. Our health care system looks for reasons to call patients hypochondriacs.

And, do not self diagnose. Just tell the doctor your history, your symptoms or experiences. Doctors are becoming very savvy to cyberchondriacs, Patients who read about something online and just know they have it.
