Thanks for the information and support.

The time in hospital was because I was brought in by ambulance. They did a CT scan and X rays to confirm there was no damage then I was kept in over a couple of days until the emergency team discharged me (about 24 hours, some of this is due to them being busy and me being in a ward at the opposite side of the hospital), then the neuro team needed to discharge me which was about 3 days from entry.

I had stitches and my jaw was swollen so they had me in for observation. They took it pretty seriously and were full of warnings when i discharged about making sure i come back for the MRI ans EEG and that I needed to take it easy.

I'm currently taking omega3 tablets and multi vitamins and trying to maintain a balanced diet with a good amount of water to make sure im not dehydrated.

I'm not doing much in the way of exercise. I have a route through a country park where i live which i used to do on bike - just tracks with some good uphill sections to get the heart going - but I've only been out on it once since. I need to get my heart going regularly because i feel the emotional benefits to it more so than the physical.

For the condition of my neck I'm not sure. X rays and a CT was done and i was in a neck brace from the scene of the accident until they had determined my neck was not broken.

My neck is something I'll read into. Physio is a big business here in Oz and a lot of my colleagues go for physio massages regularly relating to the various sports they do.

A multivitamin is not even getting started on brain nutrition. The RDA used to formulate multivitamins is designed to prevent malnutrition, not promote optimal health. The B-12 in a multi is probably 5 mcgs. 1000 mcgs would be a good start.

The subtle neck issue from a concussion is rarely imaged in a CT Scan or X-ray. It is just a strain and bruise to the ligaments and surface that causes inflammation. The inflammation is the problem. The neck brace and imaging was to check for spinal cord risk. It is just EMT and ER protocol.

It sounds like you have a good health plan and the hospital and doctors were eager to bill for services. An EEG would not be indicated without seizures. A follow up MRI would also not be indicated without severe symptoms. A CT Scan is usually a better scan for head injuries. A CT Scan at 72 hours post impact would be optimum if you had symptoms that indicated a problem.

Otherwise, they are just subjecting you to excessive radiation and expense.

Avoid physio that pursues range of motion. Your neck may be strained by pushing for range of motion. Most physios like to track progress by pushing range of motion. Gentle traction with mobilization is about all you want until your heal.

Where is Oz?

Oz is Australia.

There was a possibility that I had a seizure on impact. This was later determined to have been a tremor which was said to be totally normal when getting knocked unconscious in such a way. This was unfortunately miscommunicated somewhere and whilst I was suffering amnesure and totally spaced out it had been deemed that a seizure had occured pre-impact. It was my stupidity in tackling the jump which caused me to fall, nothing else.

So, I needed to wipe that up because it had resulted in some hefty conditions in my returning to work. Its since been shown im not epileptic and the scans provided some information such as possible inflimation and some slowing in that area which is all attributed to the fall and will subside.

Im not sure how much of the scans are standard practice and how many are the result of the fake seizure and how much was milking my insurance, but the results allowed the neurologist to clear me of epilepsy which I needed for work.

In terms of person preception of life I feel its more of an emotional battle with myself and thats what has led me to ask here.

I'll look through the thread of vitamins you suggested and see whats available to me.

I've found the information here to be a lot more helpful than I've had to date.

And vitamin B12 is best absorbed on an empty stomach.
