And maybe Lumosity didn't remind you to play the games the last time you looked into it, but they do send me a daily reminder in my email every day!
A user can have them send you an automated message/reminder by checking that option in their account settings.
That setting has helped me a great deal!! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't remember to play the games within.
The games may or not be proven to help with PCS, but I distinctly notice a decline in my scores when I'm tired or having a bad cognitive day. And I do believe there has been some exceptional improvement relieving my own symptoms since I started playing them.
And I'm reading a book written by a Dr. who recommends cognitive therapy as a means to help people recover from brain injuries who did so herself after she was diagnosed with PCS named Claudia Osborn. The book is called Over My Head. Actually, I find the book itself therapeutic because she totally understands first hand what it's like to recover from a brain injury and that's what the book is about.
Anyway, my insurance group has been giving me the runaround about neuropsychological testing that all the doctors have recommended for me which will point out which therapies I need to recover and I haven't been to work in about ten months - I want to return to work and I want to have something to do, and I do believe these games are at least providing me with something more productive to do than what I was doing before I found them.
But I know what you mean about a surface being too busy to work with; I decided not to purchase a brain exercises book that I saw at Barnes and Noble for that very reason! It was like MTV on paper - I totally can't handle that kind of visual stimulation these days!
