I'm trying to find out more about this because I'm struggling with this problem. I'll explain my story when I have more time.

Sorry the link didn't show. The thread is called Sensitive to jolting? I just started my own thread, which I'd encourage you to read. It explains my situation and what's helped me.

Default Healing Story

Concussedguy,

I am very sorry to hear you are suffering form the extreme head sensitivity. How long have you had it?

I am much, much better than I was 6 months ago when I started this thread. 6 moths ago I could hardly walk or ride in cars without feeling my brain shake inside my head and now I can run and jump without a problem.

This success has not come easy though, you have to be very careful not to hit your head during your time of healing. I had to become obsessed with protecting my head and not letting anything hit it.

Here is how I was healed: This is probably going to sound crazy, but I have been on a strict diet of eating only lean meats, fruits, and vegetables (basically a more extreme version of the Paleo diet) for 5 months now. I saw a nuero chiropractor out of Dallas, Texas who put me on the diet along with some supplements. THE DIET HAS COMPLETELY SAVED MY LIFE.

Please don't discard the diet as an option because it sounds too difficult or irrelevant to your situation; I thought the same thing at first too. Basically, the diet reduces all the swelling and inflammation in the brain and allows it to fully heal.

I strongly encourage you to buy in and give the diet a shot, just a few months and you will be on the outside looking back in on your situation, just as I am. If you have interest or any questions please ask, I am more than happy to help.

Best of luck

Dear Dan,

I'm currently going through exactly what you described. It's debilitating and emotionally very strenuous.

I just made a new thread about 'Cranial Sensitivity (Post-Trauma) before I found your thread.

I'm curious - when you started to recover, was it very gradual? How did you find yourself able to walk around more without the sensitivity?

How did you balance between trying to push yourself and catering to the symptoms? I try to do a bit of mild cardio exercise on a stationary bicycle but after a few days it triggers too many symptoms.

Glad to hear you've gotten past your problems - it helps me think I'll eventually get past this.

Hi concussedguy,

I am not one of the people from the original thread, but I did have this symptom, really badly, to the extent that I had to wear very cushioned running shoes just to walk down the street because wearing shoes with normal soles meant that each step was too much of a jolt.

You'll be pleased to know that I substantially recovered to the extent that I can live a normal life without thinking about it (though I have to be careful and wouldn't be able to do a contact sport or something particularly jolting like that). It was one of the last symptoms of my PCS to disappear.

I am a health professional and I researched extensively to find any reference to this very disabling symptom in the health research literature - I didn't find anything much, just a few references to people being more susceptible to future concussions once they have had a few.

But as I say, I pretty much recovered from it, best wishes for your own recovery

Default Hey Patrick, how are you doing now, a year later?

Hi Patrick

I'm 1 year post-concussion and off and on I experience the same symptoms you were describing.

I'll be diligent for months, start to feel almost normal again, then the slightest bump or fast shake of my head will set me back again.

It has been a year since your post, just wondering if you have fully recovered and HOW you went about it??

Any advice/suggestions?

Thanks!

chicagohead,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Patrick has not been around in over a year.

Most of us have learned to not shake our heads. Please feel free to introduce yourself and tell us how we can help.
