BDNF,

We have discussed high dose fish oil many times. Some can not tolerate it. It is helpful but not for everyone. Weight training is counter-productive for people with unresolved neck injuries as it can cause neck muscle tension.

There are some who believe SSRI's can have a negative effect and even leave the patient with long term problems.

We do support the need for enough activity to get good brain blood flow.

Some people have gastric distress with too much fish oil. It can also cause bleeding, gums, nose, feminine, and others. Others have head aches.

The blood thinning and bleeding issue is a risk for those who may have suffered a brain bleed.

We discuss the value of vitamins and supplements in the Vitamins sticky at the top.

Well thanks for your post BDNF.
First, I am interessted where you got your knowledge about TBI from?

Sounds like I did something wrong concerning the excercises. I stayed in bed as much as I could to be honest. The higher heart rate and blood pressure are no problem?

Default Eat for your mitochondria! Here is a diet plan to follow
This is an amazing Ted talk of a lady who healed her MS symptoms through food.

Default The Wahls Protocol
The Wahls protocol...that is the book. Sounds like everyone in this forum should get on this diet. At least us newbies.

The Wahls protocol is a diet for those with autoimmune disorders like MS. It does not appear to have a cross-over to PCS. It is a version of the Paleo diet.

Maybe these two prior posts should be posted to the MS forum.

You should take something for the blood pressure and heart rate if that's keeping you in bed. I'm not sure what you mean though, if you suffer from it or if you are worried about those effects from exercise.

The low inflammatory aspect of the Paleo diet may help for those who have an inflammation based symptomology. It sounds extreme for most to adopt.

Anyway, regarding exercise, there's countless studies done on mice where they gave the mice a tbi and split them in to an exercise group or non exercise group and the mice that exercise fair a whole lot better than the non exercise mice.

If you wanna see for yourself go on ** and search exercise tbi.
