Rosie,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles.

The Evoked Potentials test is interesting. It is rare to get a doctor to do such a test. Plus, there are no standards for what is considered a concussion. But, slow processing is not unexpected.

With that in mind, you should understand how your brain may get overloaded with stimulation. If you can watch TV without causing an increase in symptoms, it should be OK.

There are a few things to watch for. The signs you should be looking for are simple.

Anytime that you think you missed something , you brain is finished for the time being.

Anytime you need to reread a line of text, your brain is fatigued.

Any time you sense a need to refocus visually, your brain is fatigued.

Any time you sense you zoned out, your brain is fatigued.

And so on. So, use your judgement to determine if an activity is over-doing it.


There are some nutritional guidelines to help you along the way. B-12 (500 to 1000 mcgs), a B-50 or B-100 complex, D3, Omega 3's, all of the anti-oxidants, meat protein (pork is best), and some other things but my brain is struggling today.

Others may post more for you. There is lots of good experience here.

My best to you.
