I started drinking spring water about 9months ago instead of purified....I did'nt have a diagnosis I had a TBI @ this time.....I just always was a water drinker....I was constantly sick I remember and purified water started making me more nausea....Has anyone else noticed this? **Do you think it was because purified water doesn't have needed minerals and can make you more thirsty?
I'm still putting this puzzle of last year together because it was so foggy but a lot of different things that happened that I had no idea why....I guess I was either so messed up that I thought it was everything but my brain....but I did things like B12, meletonion, ice pack etc without knowing....was I in denial because no MD's were telling me?

Purified water can mean many things. The level of purification can vary depending on the purification system used. Many bottled water companies that sell spring water have tested the spring(s) they use for a specific characteristics. Purified often starts as tap water then is purified.
Your local water district should have a table available that lists the elements and compounds in your water. They are required to test it by federal standards. Our water district sends the test results out each year.

Interesting, someone actually just asked me on Sunday if I did any research on Lithium and potential benefits for PCS.
Just curious if anyone has done extensive reading on the subject if there is even any reading material available? |

Dear Mia,
I find the bicarbonate levels in certain water brands trigger migraine for me so I always drink non purified tap water. I hate the smooth taste of purified.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs. This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance. The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months. I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion. The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days. I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists. I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation. |

Confused?
If I were to choose from my tap water and my Pur water filtered water which would likely be better? Yes I get lots of headaches. Lately I drink both, whichever is convenient. Part of my problem with this pcs is when a few of you post with different ideas with water or vitamins...my brain gets lost. I seem to have lost my ability to compare and contrast...or maybe it's just memory... I read the first post, then the second, then the third, and then can't remember the info from the first post. Neuropsych test yesterday. Su seb
