Notes

TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury
-It will take 7-10 days to recover from a concussion/injury - youngwomenshealth.org/2013/09/concussions/
-Every concussion is different. No two concussion are the same. The TBI can affect someone in different ways. Someone with a mild concussion at first may seem just fine, but then wind up slipping into unconsciousness. Severe concussions might cause unconsciousness, while others might be life threatening. The reason for this is because of the complexity of the brain itself. The brain protects itself from injury, so some symptoms might not be noticed for several days or weeks. The signs of a concussion can be so subtle, in fact, that even doctors may miss the fact that a true injury has occurred. - healthresearchfunding.org/10-interesting-facts-concussions/
-Medications can make it more worse than better. Even if people are taking herbs, supplements, or vitamins, these can have an effect on how the brain recovers from a concussion. That's why a doctors examination is so important. Certain blood thinning agents and drugs could increase the chance of a long-term complication. Some doctors may recommend pain killers while others may want patients to avoid them at all costs. Every treatment plan can be unique because every concussion is unique. - healthresearchfunding.org/10-interesting-facts-concussions/

-The best thing to do is rest. Many people try to force themselves to get better after suffering a concussion and its literally the worst thing that they can do. Being active with an active TBI can extend the symptoms almost indefinitely. That's why the best advice is often rest and just try moving about again a little bit later. Resting doesn't mean that you have to be stuck in bed all day. Sacking out on the couch, reducing activities, and avoiding any strenuousness exercises can all start feeling better. - healthresearchfunding.org
