I find this advice confusing. Then again I am certainly no expert at four months post concussion.
My gut tells me that so much of this "medical" advice isn't medically based at all, but rather opinion based. I don't think that there's enough knowledge out there (regardless of titles) by concussion "specialists" to really know if what they are advising is beneficial. From what I understand, the ramifications of concussion are just barely unearthed, let alone understood.
Just my gut feeling about the truth and doctors... Rarely in the same room at the same time.
I'll be watching this thread though. We're all at the mercy of what we're told to believe.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.
NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.
About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
