Default "Mild" TBI...:
understanding, manifestations, (inc. Post Concussive Syndrome) treatments...

old (1998) info but still seems relevant and comprehensive.

Thumbs up PCS Resources in Alberta, Canada
I gained the most from getting involved with an agency (CNS - Calgary Neurorehab Services) that has 16 years experience in treating clients with brain injury. Once I surrendered and started with their program (which is comprehensive - work, home, fitness, psychological, etc), I finally started to make AND KEEP my progress. All the treatment cost was covered by CHR - Calgary Health Region. I wish I would have known about them sooner, so I am posting this in hopes someone will benefit.

Default Brain Injury Checklist
Here is a link to a great checklist of symptoms. It is important to track your results from behavior modifications and other responses to symptoms. We learn to help ourselves heal better that just a therapy program.

Default Sports Concussion Library
Hi,

A good source for info on concussions / pcs is: 'Sports Concussion Library'. (google it). It includes SCAT2 test and an 'Educational Module' if you care to inform a group about concussions and post-concussion syndrome:

Good luck to all.

Thanks for this, Margo. What kind of treatment did you get, if you don't mind my asking?
