My Journey Back from Concussion. How Our Quest Began. Eighteen Months →. In Which Aragorn Finally Shows Up. During March-April 2012, I participated in Dr. Nedley’s 10-day Residential Depression Recovery Program. And just wanted to report on it as it may help some others:. He started me on a new migraine preventive: 500 mg magnesium, 400 mg riboflavin (vitamin B2), and maximum dose of butterbur (for the brand I have, it’s 75 mg 3x/day) taken daily. I had decreasing headaches the first part of th...A bonus...

My Journey Back from Concussion. How Our Quest Began. How Our Quest Began. While sledding with my son (and Merry) on Martin Luther King Day in 2011, I flipped coming off a jump and did a faceplant in the snow. I felt mildly rattled, but my main concern was actually that I had bruised a rib. The next day, I started to feel nauseated. Then I got a headache. I didn’t even connect it to the sledding accident yet. I was off work for several months. And in various stages of losing my mind. One day, goo...The R...

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Jane McGonigal or her SuperBetter game, but I was hospitalized last week with a pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis due to the PICC line in my arm, and when my friend sent me a video about Jane, it made me feel better. This is the video that gives a short explanation about SuperBetter: http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? And this is the blog post that gives more info: http:/ blog.avantgame.com/2009/09/s. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.

Happy Bump-Your-Head-Aversary | Éowyn Rides Again
https://eowynridesagain.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/happy-bump-your-head-aversary
My Journey Back from Concussion. How Our Quest Began. Two and a Half Years (almost) →. Today marks two years since I bonked my head sledding. If I had written this post a couple of weeks ago, I would have written that I’m very close to fully functional. I’m successfully working part time and seems like I could ramp gradually back up toward full time as I go. With medication, a healthy lifestyle, and some great cognitive therapy, my migraines and depression are well-managed. On January 17, 2013 in updates.

My Journey Back from Concussion. How Our Quest Began. Brain Probe – daily points. Better is Better…But Not All Better →. A Day Inside My Brain Injury. Still, my life is anything but back to “normal.” I can’t work. I can do probably one “big activity” a day (you know, like going to the grocery store). I get easily overwhelmed. I have headaches a LOT. Here’s what my day today looked like. Before my concussion, I used to commute an hour to and from work every day. It was stressful, definitely, and not m...

Two and a Half Years (almost) | Éowyn Rides Again
https://eowynridesagain.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/two-and-a-half-years
My Journey Back from Concussion. How Our Quest Began. Two and a Half Years (almost). I successfully completed a year of part-time classroom teaching, and toward the end of the year I subbed for colleagues for full days as well. It’s great to know I can tolerate that level of sensory input and keep up with what I need to do in a classroom. Someday I hope to be able to transition off these medications, but today is probably not that day. Beginning full cognitive rest combined with light physical exercise.

SuperBetter | Éowyn Rides Again
https://eowynridesagain.wordpress.com/game-basics
My Journey Back from Concussion. How Our Quest Began. I played SuperBetter from March to June 2011. It was very helpful in identifying what was helpful and harmful and helping focus on what I could do rather than what I couldn’t do during this difficult time. It also gave me a very helpful language to communicate with those around me about what I should and shouldn’t be doing. Here’s a post where you can read more about the benefits. This was my own DIY SuperBetter game. Jane McGonigal. Back in the Saddle.
