Have you been thinking about nutrition? My brother is a vet and told me I should really focus on antioxidants, which I looked up on the internet and have been doing ever since (leading to a massive juice habit!)

Weird that the most useful health professional I have seen has been my brother the vet, but I guess they do need to really know how the nuts and bolts of every body system works since they see it in so many unfamiliar forms...

Also, you might want to cut down on the TV. I spent many months thinking I was resting while watching TV, but actually high energy TV programmes like action films or music videos are making your brain work pretty hard.

When I realised this I spent a few months hardly watching any TV, or computer, or reading books. It was hard but I got a load of audiobooks on my ipod, or went for short walks in the park. My brain seemed to like this much better than constant TV.

Good luck

Default Helping a Little With Your Recovery

Hi Everyone:
I'm a mom of a 14yr old teenage boy who has been recovering from Post Concussion Syndrome for 1 1/2 yrs. He has also experienced 3 major setbacks (Does NOT play sports) and is now being tutored at home by the local high school.
I am also a MTBI Literate Integrative Health & Nutrition Coach and can tell you that what you eat is very important regarding brain health - as a matter of fact I have just finished a book for MTBI survivors about this important piece of the puzzle. It is a very easy to use guide and is being printed now.
Depression, anxiety and some "brain fog" can be caused by eating too much sugar and processed foods. May doctors, coaches, etc. do not really "get" that what you eat literally turns into your brain, your blood, your emotions, etc.

Warmly, Tina Sullivan
