Two very useful articles I ran across today.

One is Guidelines for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) and Persistent Symptoms from the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation: http://theconcussionblog.com/2012/03...-game-changer/

The other is an article by a nurse who suffered a TBI on how to become your own health care advocate: http://braininjuryselfrehabilitation...lthcare-needs/

Happy healing!

The ONF guidelines are an excellent overview of what the current thinking is for managing folks with concussions and PCS. If your doctor doesn't seem up to date on mTBI and PCS, I recommend that you try to get him or her to read it.
