Just had a concussion, and I received NO education about maximizing recovery! Thank you!

So, in order to heal my concussion, it was a LOT of trial and error. But here was my combo: 1. a super high-protein diet - lots of chicken, beef, salmon, plant-based protein powder/bars paired with rice or potatoes and green veggies. 2. Bloom probiotic drink every day 3. Liquid IV electrolytes every day 4. 10-15 mg of CBD (TCH-free) each day, depending on level of stimulation, tapered down to 3-5 mg - some days none at all. For me, the CBD got me through sleep issues. 5. 140 mg of magnesium glycinate daily, and 100 mg of vitamin B2 in the first 8 months helped tremendously with the headaches. Now I've traded vitamin B2 for a daily multivitamin. 6. MigRelief Now Formula - this supplement was an absolute game-changer and helped with all autonomic system flare ups, including the nausea, and especially sound and light intolerance.

I had a concussion from a fall while skiing seven days ago. I take creatine and melatonin and will increase both of these. I currently take 5 gm creatine and 0.6 mg melatonin. I also take glycine and taurine.

I had been doing the other 4 (I started adding blueberries and turmeric to my diet recently from online research about concussions). I’m going to add creatine now and see how I feel

I have been taking melatonine for more than 10 years.. 20mg/night and I sleep fantastic, between 8 and 10 hours.. I am 59 years old. I had a fall last April, and I still have dizziness and sometimes headaches.. I will increse my take on the Omega 3 and the creatine. Do you also recommend magnesium glycinate, vitamin D3 and vitamin Bs?? Thanks!

Hey doctor, what if I have tremors post concussion? Anything I can do about that? It’s been three days since hitting the back of my head and would like to control it now since it’s still new

@chukim8012 1 year ago

Hey Doc, do you know if CTE can be triggered by a concussion? I haven't been able to find any studies observing that if a person with RHI history has a sports concussion, it may trigger onset CTE, which he maybe wouldn't have gotten until years later in his life. I'm trying to figure out if this happened to me, if you have any ideas about this possibility.
