Hi, I am new to this support group. It was mentioned in a book I was reading, Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. I have had numerous concussions but this latest one is the worst by far in severity and number of symptoms. I fell straight backwards on ice on 12.15 and hit the back of my head. I have gotten a CT scan which was normal and an MRI yesterday which made my symptoms way worse but no results yet. I am scheduled to see the neurologist who is also a neuropsychologist next week. I don't have all the technical terms down but my symptoms are that my speech is affected( sound like a stroke victim), great fatigue, headache- sometimes piercing but generally pressure, sensitive to light(flourescent is the worst) and sound(can only handle from one source), can not multi-task, pressure in my ears. I have only been able to work very minimally a couple of hours to do payroll the last couple of weeks. I am currently getting cranial sacral work which was what helped me in the past and acupuncture with ultra sound and massage. I am also trying to eat a brain healthy diet and am taking some supplements but not all that have been recommended here.

Anyway my question is when should I stop resting and start trying to stimulate my brain some?

You all sound so supportive and informed, I'm glad I found you.
