JNC,

I doubt you will see much improvement from day to day or even week to week if you maintain a full load of studies and extracurricular activities. It does not mean that after you graduate you can't take the time for quiet rest and good nutrition etc. so your brain can try to heal.

If the ibuprofen is not taking care of your head aches, try full doses of aspirin and acetaminophen (Tylenol) together. They are safe to take together at 1000 mgs each up to 3 times per day. Try and see what happens if you avoid the caffeine. If the combination works, give your liver a break from the Tylenol at least one day a week. Same goes for ibuprofen.

Your weekend drinking and unwillingness to take the time to be disciplined with diet and such makes it difficult to offer real help. Recovering from Prolonged Concussion Symptoms is not a part time effort.

When you are ready to get serious about recovery, we are here to help.

My best to you.
