Thank you both for your input.
In regards to your question Mark, I have tried acupuncture, and really working to clean up a previously clean diet. I kept a food journal, working with a nutritionist to try to see any correlations between food and my headaches. Apples, gluten, processed sugars and wine are the first that jump to mind, but also just allowing even a mild drop in my blood sugar can result in headaches and melancholic feelings. I also meditate and practice yoga, which sometimes eases my headaches and anxiety and has helped with my gamut of bodily injuries that occurred from the accident as well. I sleep a lot, at least twice as before, and try actively not to become overwhelmed. I do work almost full time, 35ish hours a week, and this zaps much of my energy, but I try to be quiet a lot of the time. However, as a very high energy person, I become depressed and despondent without physical activity, which poses a constant battle of balance.
In Boston I've worked with DR. Cho-Park, a neurologist at BWH with moderate success. Also my Neuro-psychologist is Dr. Meghan Searl, moderately pleased. My talk therapist who specializes in brain injury is incredible, Paula Morgan Johnson, and I have high hopes for my new TBI Physiatrist, Dr. Seth Herman at the Spalding Rehab Hospital. My intregrative PCP, Dr. Caren Eliezer is also good. When I list all of them, I realize I am very lucky to be surrounded by such good care, even if it has taken me a year to build this team.
Xander, More to you shortly!
