USA555,

No you should not be pushing your brain and body. Consider that your continued drinking prevented any healing from even getting started.

Getting wasted is very similar to getting a concussions, especially if you get wasted after getting a concussion.

You should stop all contact activities. Limit exercise activities to low impact and low pulse efforts. Your class work should be minimized to lessen the mental load. Your college play time is probably too stimulating for your brain. use this extra time to settle down and study in a more leisurely manner and location.

Ask the Disabilities Department if they have a tutor to help you with some study needs. Hopefully, they have some idea of how to help you.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol, MSG, artificial sweeteners and preservative (No Diet Cokes or such) and get some nutritional supplements started. There are plenty posts about vitamins and such. Your brain needs to detoxify before it can start healing.

What advice has the concussion clinic been giving you?

Not all concussion clinics are created equal. Some concussion clinics know their stuff. Some just know how to tap into a lucrative market for billing insurance companies.

btw, The NeuroPsych likely told you to get back into the swing of things because there is nothing he can do for you to justify continued billings.

Hope this helps.

My best to you.
