Chris,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You have found a good community of people.

As you consider your history of concussions, you need to also include in the equation your age. At 42, you are at the start of the downhill slide of your neurological condition. The main problem being the older brain is less able to overcome the past damage.

Many of us use a nutritional regimen to help our brains. It is difficult to get adequate amounts of some substances that the injured brain needs by just eating a healthy diet.

What are you most troubling symptoms? What changes to your lifestyle have you undertaken to encourage better neurological function?

As you research concussion issues, please note that there is still a large amount of old misinformation out there, especially on the internet. There are also research studies that often miss important study criteria that would make the results more useful. The studies supporting Computerized Neurological/Cognitive Baseline Testing are often seriously deficient in their study parameters.

The profit motive supports many concepts far beyond their true value.

Feel free to tell us what you find and about any struggles you have. Every little new idea can be helpful as we move forward.

My best to you.
