Concussion Recovery Strategies: Part I

The posts on this blog are based on my personal experience and are not medical advice.

Here's what we know:

Concussion symptoms seem to be caused by your brain's inflammation response to the trauma. I.e. your body is trying to help by swelling near your brain but that impairs some of the brain's function
We don't know very much about recovering from brain injuries.
The gut and the brain seem some of the last frontiers for Western Medicine to understand.
A surgeon won't be helpful to you: her two tools are a knife and a pill and neither, for now, will help you
A neurologist won't be helpful to you: he will tell you to avoid screens and stay in bed.

Fortunately, there are several strategies that we strongly believe in. I'll detail these in the next few posts.

What does neurofeedback have to do with this? I'll get to that in a few more posts (-:
