Has anyone ever been to see Dr. David Perlmutter, Neurologist in Ft. Myers?

After two years with absolutely no help for PCS, I went to see Dr. Perlmutter. He

has me on very high doses of Vit D, Omega's, Coconut Oil, injectable B12. I think he's just beginning with the supplements.

I have suffered "everyday" for two years, so desperate to try something. Just wondering if anyone else has been to see him?

Hi.

Sorry, I do not live in that area but am happy that you found a great doctor. Will you please share doses of what he prescribed for you? I have had no help from doctors regarding vitamins / supplements and would be thankful to learn anything.

Thank you.

Please share your experiences with him - I live in the bahamas and will be interested to hear your story as it progresses

Yes...2 years post concussion, absolutely no help at all. Recently went to see

Dr. Perlmutter. It sounds as though he has me on the same regime as you are

on. All the supplements and injections. I would love to try the hyperbaric

chamber treatments, very expensive. I like Dr. Perlmutter and will continue on

his regime. I'm desperate to feel normal again so anything is certainly worth a try.

Please see reply below for supplements.

Hybernating,

Forgive me if I have asked this before. What symptoms are you struggling with the most and hope Dr Perlmutter can help with?

What have you been doing besides the nutrition he is starting you on?

btw, B-12 shots are the expensive way to get B-12 levels up. Have you had a blood test to check your B-12 levels?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy usually take 40 to 80 sessions to see any improvement, it at all.

Has anybody helped you learn work-arounds and other coping skills?

Hello Mark...

I don't know what Dr Perlmutter can or can't help me with, I'm just so

desperate to feel better that I've got to try something. After two years of a

worker comp Neurologist telling me there is nothing wrong with me, at least now I have been diagnosed with MTBI.

My symptoms include headaches, fatigue, 24/7 loud tinnitus, extremely

sensitive to noise, any noise, all noise. I have a pair of earplugs for every

sound level. Trouble focusing, concentration. I seem to stare a lot. Difficult to

remember anything. Most of my day is worked around laying in bed with a

pillow over my head. I am getting a bllod test to determine levels of Vit D & B.

I have literally had no help in coping skills. DOES IT EVER GO AWAY?
