Default Lifting weight

Prior to my set back I have been lifting weight on a regular basis. Here is how my average day went:

- work in office, mild dizziness at the end of the day
- gym at 6pm: feel much better after (lifting for muscle growth).
- next day I continue to feel OK, until about 6 hours of work...


So I tended to associate symptoms with reading (no doubt they do) and I felt lifting was helping a lot with depression, and also with symptoms.

I wonder however whether it has a long term effect on healing.

I guess if we keep it up we'll find out.

Exercising still causes me some strange effects compared to pre accident but it really helps to let the steam off by and large.

I just went to a very good Dr in a well known hospital and he said that research says exercise is one of the BEST things to do for the brain. Of course, each brain is different and this was a Dr working on my brain, so ask your Dr if he agrees and saw the same research. I certainly do not want to tell you to do anything that would cause harm.

Hopefully you can feel better soon. When was your head injury? How long ago?
