Thank you very much for your response.

It has been a while since anyone who knew what they were talking about gave me advice. I saw a sports medicine doctor and a concussion specialist last year and they were fairly knowledgeable. This year, after I moved home, I have seen a family practice doctor and a neurologist and both of them had absolutely no clue. The neurologist spent more time telling me what the book definition of concussion is than giving me advice.

To clarify, I got my first concussion three years ago. It was minor and though I played through it, the symptoms went away in a few days. Two years ago I got another minor concussion. The symptoms lasted a few weeks- probably because I polayed through it again. Last year (16 months ago) I suffered multiple blows to the head in one game. Afterwards, I was not in good shape. I sat out two weeks, during which time I did everything I could to limit stimulation to the brain. My head was feeling a little bit better, and the season was ending so I decided to finish the season. In the final few games of the season I took a couple more blows to the head- one of which was enough to cause dizziness and nausea.

I have since quit basketball, though a year ago I had hoped to play professionally and got a desk job.

I miss the endorphins from exercise as well, but I agree with you that it should be avoided. I think I will start walking though- that seems like a good idea.

Are there any specific multi-vitamins that you would reccomend in addition to the oils?

Again, thank you.
