greenfrog,
Not much other than rest and avoiding caffeine, alcohol and MSG will help with healing, especially at your very early stage. Try to sleep with your neck in a straight position. Not on your side unless you have a thick pillow that holds your head up and straight. Neck inflammation can lead to a myriad of strange symptoms. My best to you.

Greenfrog,
I would definitely take rest pretty seriously. I don't mean just for an extra 30 minutes a day. I mean not going to work, no meetings, not going out in the evenings, and whatever else you might do, and putting all your available energy into getting well and nothing else. It will be worth the investment. Also, see if there is someone to take care of you and cook your meals, go to the bank, etc. etc. Payback time will come later when you are well. Also, I would eat well with plenty of protein and not do anything that is very mentally stimulating - as boring a life as you can stand in fact. You can't do it for ever, but in the very early stages of recovery, I think that it would be a worthwhile investment of your time. What could be more important to you than getting well? The final tip might be harder to organize, so I wouldn't stress out over it but : I think that some sort of oxygen treatment, especially in the early stages is worth a try, particularly hyperbaric oxygen treatment. It would be better though to get someone else (if there is anybody) to look into the feasibility of this. The last thing you need right now is to be stressing out about organizing something. Good luck, Concussed Scientist Quote:
