Thoughts? Experiences? Supposedly increases blood flow to brain but also have read it's mostly placebo.

Supposedly you have to take it for at least 6 months to see any benefits, or so I was told by a Russian doctor. I haven't taken it, but have tried other supplements, can't recall the exact names right now without my notes, but haven't really noticed any benefits.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months. March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again. Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work. Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens. |

My headache Dr. has had me on Ginko for years....
Most "normal" people get a bit hyper..... Years ago when I went back to him and told him my side effects, he kinda laughed... I have been using a supplement made by Purity Products that has CoQ10 and ginko.... I take it twice a day..... It makes me tired when I take it....Ive been on it for at least 5 or more years... |
