shanebox, did you end up seeking out treatment at CognitiveFx? I am interested to connect with you if you are willing- I am a physical therapist who is coming up on 5 months post concussion with continued symptoms that are functionally limiting. I am interested to hear more about your experience as I also have young children (2 and 1) who add challenge to the recovery. I realize I am very early on in my recovery compared to some, but am in the early stages of researching CognitiveFx and fMRI as I want to do whatever I can to accelerate my recovery and get back to my career.

Do you have any insight on how to differentiate this from age-related memory issues? I'm hoping I will see improvement with more mental activity. In the meantime, it's very disconcerting how much my memory has declined when I don't make that deliberate effort to remember something. Thanks! |
You treat the symptom, not the cause. It does not matter what the cause is.
Mental activity only improves reaction times. It does not improve memory. Memory disciplines are the best way to improve memory. Plan on your memory failing so you do not expect your memory to be successful. Then, use focus and other accommodations so you have a greater likelihood of remembering. Limit conflicting sensory stimulation when you need a reliable memory. |
