Here are a few nutrition & foods information -
http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php http://www.womansday.com/health-fitn...erfoods-25519/ http://www.brainline.org/content/201...-recovery.html http://www.eatingwell.com/healthy_co...and_techniques http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3225186/ If you want to get optimal nutrition from foods, you may need to do a lot of reading on the subject or seek a nutritionist for maximum benefit. This came up in my searches - http://www.doctoryourself.com/ Looks interesting , but don't have time to explore it all this morning..

This is a book, "Nourish your noggin", written by a nutritionist whose son has PCS. Has some good tips and a good general overview, but is mostly recipes.

__________________
26 year-old PhD student in evolutionary biology, slipped on ice in Feb 2014 while clipping my fingernails and walking to save time (dumbest reason for PCS ever?). Initially just had headaches and didn't feel quite right, but a minor head bump 5 days later started a downward spiral of anxiety, depression, insomnia and fatigue. Had trouble concentrating on reading/looking at screens April 2014 - did exertion test, passed, started exercising and doing more, but didn't feel much better. May 2014 - Went on backpacking trip OK'd by doctor, trip itself went fine, but felt worse a few days after getting back, more difficulty concentrating, worse headaches. June 2014 - Bumped head on ceiling walking slowly down stairs, no immediate symptoms, but caused worsening headahces, more difficulty concentrating and looking at screens. Have not felt as good as I did before this since this bump. December 2014 - after feeling relatively better I went xc skiing and fell but didn't hit my head (something my psychologist who specializes in brain injuries told me he hoped would happen so I saw it was OK), felt worse Feb 2015 - back in grad school, light teaching load and some research, nowhere close to operating at my full capacity. Still have constant headaches, difficulty reading/looking at screens, mild anxiety and depression, and just not feeling like my normal sharp self. Trying, but struggling, to believe that I'll get back to my old self, or at least get close. |
