One factor in healing may be environmental.
It has been found that statins used for cholesterol lowering, block certain nerve growth factors involved with remyelination.
Also fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox) cause nerve damage by damaging DNA in cells.
Taking these two types of drugs for other problems, would seriously impact any healing from a TBI.
These are the only two I have seen recent studies on...there might be more.
Flagyl...causes lesions in the brain that resemble MS lesions. Conceivably it could affect healing from TBI also.
