Tpont21,
2 Mega Men Sport Multi's per day is more than you need and possibly too much for your system. If you add the others in my suggested regimen, you will only need the trace compounds in the Mega Men Sport. Even the B-100 is a bit much. A B-50 Complex or 1/2 of a B-100 should do you fine. The important B is the B-12. 2500 mcgs of B-12 should be doing you good. Momwhocares, Please start your own thread in the discussion forums so we can discuss your son's needs. Too much discussion in the stickies makes it confusing for some, newbies especially.

I was in a snowboarding accident on January 19, 2013. I caught an edge on my snowboard while carving down the mountain without a helmet. I smacked the back of my head hard on the ground. I was not knocked out and it took about a week for symptoms to come into full effect. Since my accident I have been in a cycle of feeling better and then relapsing. It has happened many times. Although I think the overall trend is slowly traveling up. My symptoms included headaches, anxiety, sensitivity to light and noise, dizziness, fatigue, confusion, trouble concentrating, brain fog, loss of social interest, irritability, and mood swings. Many symptoms have since resolved and I am left with slight dizziness, sensitivity to large crowds and busy environments, small amounts of anxiety, and brain fog off and on. I am currently under the care of a neuropsychologist at the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic. I am also undergoing balance/vestibular physical therapy to help with my remaining symptoms. |

Thank you so much for generous post about vitamins and supplements regime. I will have a hard time convincing my poor 25 year old son to get on this bandwagon as he is still in denial after 10 months and is still hoping for some quick miracle fix. It is tearing my heart apart.
My son's life suddenly changed 10 excruciating months ago. I'd so much prefer seeing my own life change like this. I know I should be grateful that nothing shows up on his MRI and CATscan, that the vestibular and audiological testing hasn't shown anything - but he isn't well!!!! My son has extreme brain fatigue (feels like his brain is fried) and glassy eyes after just a couple of hours of working on the computer; migraines; dizziness; and more. It's shocking to learn how little the mainstream medical community knows about all of this. We have been to so many doctors, here in NYC where we live. Searching now for a neck doctor to address the extreme tension in there. But would prefer a doctor or team of doctors who understand the interconnections between all the affected body parts. Seems to me treating this complex condition piecemeal makes no sense. We will try something new tomorrow: Functional Manual Therapy. Has anybody heard of it? I know now that there is also ostheopathy, myofascial release therapy and cranio-sacral therapy - all are new to us, scary, expensive, probably not covered by our insurance. Seems like this path is one of trial and error, running from doctor to doctor, waiting and wondering. Very very tough...But thank you all for being there so I don't feel so terribly alone. |

Goaliemom,
I went on the vitamin regimen as recommended by Mark and it has improved my day-to-day life in a most positive way. You have come to a great forum here at NeuroTalk for support and education. I am no stranger to brain fatigue and brain fog and I fully endorse the vitamin strategy because it has worked wonders for me. I am more able to concentrate and stay on task and my memory seems to be improving too. I've also been improving my diet, good nutrition is very important. Jamie

I have a quick observation:
Magnesium in OXIDE form is still around to purchase, and also quite cheap. BUT ...it has been found to not be absorbed much at all. You need a better form such as SlowMag, or a chelated type ... carbonate citrate gluconate glycinate lactate Avoid aspartate type as it stimulates pain receptors (NMDA). Here is a good website that explains magnesium, and offers food choices: http://www.slowmag.com/ Magnesium oxide today is used mostly as a laxative....as in Phillips Caplets.

Thanks for your reply,
I see the form I am taking now is in the (oxide) form. Guess I will look for a new one. Is this particular brand also considered the aspartate type too? Which one would you recommend specifically? |
