That's a great article.
I've read articles like this before and I trust the content of them, but I also read on previous posts here that you should exercise until you have symptoms and then stop for a break. Well, I get instant cognitive symptoms, "brain fog", as soon as I start. I know this is something I should be asking one of my therapists, but I thought I'd ask here too, just to expand the feedback on this subject. I would love to become more physical, go swimming, shoot hoops, do some push-ups..etc. I just don't like the way it makes me feel.
Any thoughts?

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
