I'm shocked by the amount of people who are just passively waiting for symptoms to improve.

I've read a lot of studies on brain health. An SSRI helps but I think the choice to take one is personal.

But the two things everyone should be doing is taking high doses of fish oil, regular strength not the ethyl ester concentrates. And exercise(jogging, weight training) or at least breathing exercises/meditation.

You will be surprised at how much 10 grams a day of fish oil will help.

Strong doses of vitamin c help also. And the b vitamins.

I notice some of you have noise sensitivity. You need to gradually desensitize yourself to noise by starting with recordings at a low volume.

But the biggest thing is exercise and fish oil.

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.

What are the issues with fish oil?

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?

This is an amazing Ted talk of a lady who healed her MS symptoms through food.

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.
