Dr Amen's supplements may be helpful. They are very expensive compared to other brands. His clinics have become very commercialized and are focused toward wealthy people looking to maximize their brain potential. He does not have much validated treatment protocols for concussion recovery.
I talked to people at his first clinic in Walnut Creek years ago. I also worked with a concussion and brain injury driving testing and rehab clinic near his clinic. They did not suggest his clinic has as much value for concussion. If his supplements help, you will be the proof. What kind of struggles were you having the other day ?

My latest way of describing it is like I have a really bad hangover. One reason why I hardly ever drank/drink is because I am a health nut and I like to feel 100% all off the time. And now I almost constantly feel horrible.
Tell me more about the possibility of the neck causing pcs and what I can do to fix or diagnose it. |

I tell people to imagine their worst hangover, and then have it last for 18 months...and counting! Through in a few bed spins....sound sensitivity....crankiness....etc!
I have asked most of my doctors if they have ever been hungover or had too much red wine. I usually get a wee smile.

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |
