Matt22,

If you want to do light aerobics, you should wait until you settle down. A light walk with soft soled shoes or on grass should be OK. If you start to notice any symptoms at all, stop. By any symptoms, it can be just a moment of feeling lost, or difficulty focusing, difficulty remembering which way to turn at a corner, getting glassy eyed, etc. Learning to recognize the first signs of a return of symptoms will become a valuable skill. Once you can recognize that, try to figure out what the trigger was.

For me, getting startled by someone honking a horn unexpectedly can cause me to need to stop and refocus. If you are reading, needing to reread a line is a sign. Losing track of what someone is saying can be a sign.

When these events happen, rather than getting frustrated or mad, just pull back and refocus. Then look around for the trigger. You will learn to be much more observant of your surroundings.

For nutrition, start with a B-12 (500 to 1000 mcgs), a B-50 complex, D3, all of the anti-oxidants, Omega's, magnesium, calcium, good protein for the amino acids (pork is the best), and stay away from high sugar foods, especially high fructose corn syrup.

If you like to work out hard, this nutrition regimen will help maintain a strong blood-brain barrier to protect your brain from toxins in your body.

If you are going to work outdoors, stay well hydrated, wear a wide brim hat, and take a break if you start to get glassy eyed. If you work with loud equipment, wear good hearing protection. Sound can be a big brain stressor.
