bobbyr,

Can we help you with your PCS symptoms ? Others symptoms, duration and improvement have no bearing on your condition. Every concussion is different.

Zack,
Yes he was very helpful. Incredibly knowledgable and I got wonderful care. Unfortunately I kept getting reconcussed at work. I know he has been doing some Carrick training recently and has learned a lot. Gotta love those doctors that get ongoing training that is not sponsored
by a drug company!

Yes I understand that. Im just interested to know the symptoms of his concussion.

Thank you all for the replies. I left a message for Dr DeMartini and hopefully will hear from him soon.

My symptoms are: brain fog, cannot multi task, overwhelmed/sensory overload, fatigue, loss of appetite, insomnia, difficulty concentrating (causes headaches), mood changes (feeling ok then depressed), can't exercise, anxiety/panic attacks if too much stimuli.

I did see improvements in my symptoms after spending about 2 weeks back at my parents house in Ohio, basically doing absolutely nothing and laying down in the dark for 18 hours a day. However, when I returned to San Francisco, I had a pretty stressful event happen and my symptoms came right back to where they were prior to going to ohio to relax. I'm returning to my parents house this weeknd for some time in hopes to aide my recovery. I hadn't been back to my home town for 4 years and after spending a day there I remembered why. However, boredom is what I need.

Any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks again,

Short term rest is just a short term fix. One needs to moderate all stress to get true benefit from rest. Reducing the peaks in stress is most important.

Concussion recovery is a marathon. There is not value to part time recovery efforts.

SFhelp,
My daughter was seen at the CAL Berkeley eye center. They do great testing and are very knowledgable. It takes time to get an appointment but it is worth it.
