My sleep has definitely improved from what it was, but that is the area I am still struggling in a bit.
I am on a light therapy regimen twice a day to help reset my body clock. I am doing better with falling asleep at night and sleeping soundly through most of the night. The crazy dreams are gone. I still have a bit of trouble with early waking (around 3-4) and am continuing to work with Dr. Nedley on getting this resolved.

I also wanted to mention that Dr. Nedley's program revolves around looking at ten different categories of factors that can affect the brain:
Genetic Developmental Nutrition Social Toxic Circadian Rhythm Addictions Lifestyle Medical Conditions Frontal Lobe When I started the program, I had impairments in seven of these areas. At the end of the ten days, I had impairments in only two. For a small fee, you can take the same screening online that Dr. Nedley gives participants in the residential program: http://www.drnedley.com/health-risk-...nxiety-eq.html The report you receive will refer you to his published materials that tell you how to address the areas you have impairments in so that you can help get your brain in prime working order in these ten areas. Hope this is helpful!

Eowyn,
Awesome link, thanks for sharing! You did things the right way - you became proactive about your recovery. Too many doctors and patients believe that rest will heal a head injury, and in some cases rest does. However, in other cases, you must be proactive about your recovery and start healing your brain using any modality that you can find. M |
