Default 7 month mark

Hi Guys,

My seven month mark is coming up this week, and I know in comparison to some of you- it's not that long. I really like my neuro and feel like he has a lot of knowledge, but I wonder if I should be trying other things. I have only seen my primary care physician and my neuro regularly.

My neuro has diagnosed me with post concussion syndrome, and he sees me once a month. He goes over my meds and changes them up if they are not treating the symptoms. His philosophy is that rest and reduced stress will eventually heal me. He says that my recovery will be almost instantaneous when it happens(one day or over a couple days I'll just feel better).

He has me on Amitriptyline 20mg every night, 1mg of B12 every day when I get up, and Treximet for my migraines.

I live in Buffalo and have been pointed in the direction of this concussion clinic at UB. Will you guys check this out and let me know what you think? I've already been doing some regulated exercise at home with my Wii Fit, but I'm sure this is more involved. I do some light yoga and balance activities for about 20 minutes and I try to do it 4-5 times a week.

Thanks!
