Mark,

I have read this forum for the past (3) yrs. My only post are this post and to thank the person who pointed out the article on How to recovery from a Concussion -- and that the recommendations in the article appears to have worked at reducing overall symptoms and increasing energy.

When I saw that someone posted with similar symptoms including the body temp regulation- I wanted to share our success.

You made a statement of "have followed Byron Richards for many years but do not refer to his web site because he makes some claims and comments that are not based on fact or research and tend to support many of the false understandings of concussion. Plus, his web site and comments are extremely profit biased which is frowned upon in NT"

I did a search of his website that I found this article at and I found only two articles on concussions - the supplement recommendation and research on thalamus issues. I also noted that all his other articles appear to comments about research studies. Perhaps you are thinking of someone else

I posted the article not to push that websites or their vitamins/supplements, but that this appeared to work for my daughter after a long and arduous road with post concussion symptoms with (3) years of part time school because symptoms were to much to be in a school environment all day. To go from that and a recommendation from her Neuropsy as of last year that we should have a backup plan of an extra year of school or a gap year to where she is now is amazing to me.

I will say I was hesitant to post my daughter's success in symptom recovery because I see that you tend to comment on things in the manner that you posted to mine. You mentioned about changes i.e graduation that can bring on symptoms She went from Feburary of being so exhausted from walking to end of driveway to get mail, waking up with headaches crying in the middle of the night, body temp.regulation to being able to handle an all night school sponsored prom, going to school all day, and graduation/graduation parties with no symptoms in a short time frame ( 2 - 3 mths) of following the recommendations in that article. The supplements and epsom salt bath was the only thing that we changed with her and the only thing that we can tie the symptoms reduction and the increased level of energy.

I will say that because of your comments in another posting that I put off Neurofeedback that her Neuropsy Concussion Specialist recommended And note the Neuropsy did not do the Neurofeedback and did not recommend anyone in particular. He wasnt trying to make a buck. He had seen good success with other patience of his that had tried Neruofeedback, She started Neurobiofeedbck last June and she feels that helped with cognitive/focus. A science teacher noted to us that in September he felt she was not gong to make it in his class ( academically - not being able to hold onto material in memory and forgot previous learned math) to by January she had an A on his midterm. That was during time we did Neurofeedback. I also highly recommend Neurofeedback.

She had been through (3) rounds of PT and we were told she was going to have to live with the pain So we understand that as well. That pain has reduced.

I would caution you not to be so quick to put down or comment on someone else success in what appears working for them. I could point out statements in your above comments regarding the supplements that are not correct.

What may work for one person, may work for someone else and the goal of this forum is to support and exchange what may help.

I viewed this forum today to see if anyone had questions related to this and saw your comments. I probably won't be back to this forum as she is doing so much better and I will be getting her ready to head off to college. Something I would not have been predicting I would have been doing or saying just (4) months ago.

Best wishes to all in your varies recovery states
