Once again, thank you. I'm sorry for the post on the other thread seemed defensive.
Ha yeah sorry I should be more concise generally, especially on here. Of course I was not criticising you, sorry if it came across that way. You just sound a hell of a lot like I did at the beginning of my recovery and I was trying to express something I wish someone had got me to understand at that stage.

You have suffered a serious injury, which is no less serious because hardly anyone, health professionals included, seem to understand it. You may get better soon but you may well be in this for the long haul, so make the necessary changes to your lifestyle, particularly giving yourself enough rest (including cognitive rest) and getting onto a serious nutrition regimen now.

It took me months to get my head round that sort of advice and I'm trying to give you a headstart on me, because the sorts of things you are saying really remind me of the sorts of things I used to say.

Good luck!
