Sports MDs are by far the most pragmatic and direct physicians. It took me years to get a Sports MD as my primary, and the results have been beyond awesome. Strangely enough, the greatest positive effect has been avoiding NEEDLESS TREATMENTS! My Sports MD prefers to first try a few simple things to see if any of them "move the needle", then proceed in the direction that provided the best outcomes. So many other MDs want to jump to the end of the game, to "fix it all at once", to do what's "needed" ASAP. Even if you are not in any way an athlete, a Sports MD can provide a step up in your care. And should you choose to become more active, a Sports MD will give you the best advice for preventing your new activities from damaging your body.
Love the fact you are still able to make videos! Although it's not the content you used to make, it's great you are sharing your experiences with your audience. Thank you!
It's great that when life gave you lemons, you made lemonade! I know it's not ideal, but you are doing a great job of taking advantage of this concussion to make more content and spread the word about the health effect of it. Keep up the good work!
Great work as always! Will definitely use this as reference/guide for anyone who are new to concussions or just trying to figure if they ever experienced one. Keep it up!
NICE video Scottie. Using Strange Parts to gain more information and share to the world not just on how electronics and technology works, but to also use the resources that's available to get better physically and mentally. Student for life mentality. SIDE NOTE: thanks to advancements in technology, we can take proper procedures to handle any concussion protocols before getting worse. Lastly, while it was unfortunate that you suffered a concussion, you turned a negative into a positive by keeping us in the loop as you're on the road to recovery.
These videos have all been very interesting and insightful. Thanks for sharing this Scotty. I hope they were able to help you on your road to recovery.
I've been waiting for you to come back! Checked the other day and you hadn't posted. Recovery is extremely hard. Don't expect too much of yourself and remind yourself of the fact that you are recovering every time you fail. You will get your full capacity back.
Collision type of sports for Athletics or sportsmanship like motor sports to deal with speed and pressure should always give a check out before further damage in the brain… this is the key before further affect to the person, even in todays live, we are work under pressure, show give the professional for consultation… this is how I look at it in our daily living...
I wonder if this therapy will one day be used for things like ADHD, brain fog, chronic fatigue, memory issues... and not only issues as a result of concussions. Just fine tuning and improving "smaller" issues. Edit: I should say that I wonder if this type of 1 week program can help these symptoms when they're not a result of a concussion, but also if it will become affordable enough since insurances probably won't help in those cases without a diagnosis of something like a concussion.
Well brain fog at least, we're starting to think it causes the same damage concussions do (damage to the vasculature of the brain), so I bet CognitiveFX could really help people suffering from it. Another thing my doctor recommended for me when I was dealing with brain fog due to post-COVID stuff, was Benadryl. It actually helped a lot, and I have no idea why, neither does my doc. I've actually been considering pursuing some further treatment for this, so maybe I'll talk to these folks...
Same.. I'm suffering from the decades of effects of long term stress, and can't help wondering what befits this kind of test and treatments could have if they was available to me. Cus I definitely suffer from some parts of my brains no longer function as the used to and other parts having to try compensate + finding workarounds for the missing abilities that the stress damaged. Some of my daily challenges I can definitely see parallels to what Scotty describes.
Cognitive FX is actually doing trials right now to help people with cognitive issues from COVID. They said it seems the physiology is similar to post concussion syndrome patients, just less localized. Very exciting stuff...
@@nirsommer Looks like I can't see like hidden or deleted reply from @Sam L, so wondering what was the reply and antihistamine? Those are some amazing drug medicines and wondering how was, or even if not, related?
Hope it goes well. The brain is a bit like a muscle (but working on neurons). It can get damaged, but exercise, the right type, can help strengthen it again.
during the pandemic my surfboard and my face met with the force of a wave. I have no memory of an hour after that, apparently I left my debit card at the gas station haha. on the way home, I couldn't recognize the names of the freeway exits HAHA and when I got home I DID NOT recognize my door or the house color. and like I think like a day later stuff went back to normal
The healthcare system is broken. They set you away for 4 or 6 months "you can wait, you won't die", but you're costing society a massive amount of money by not working! I know it's not nice to only see the financial aspects, but the financial aspect is what motivates (or SHOULD motivate) a functioning government to keeping the populus healthy as much of the time as possible.
Thanks for sharing Man! Awesome progress that seriously needs to be brought out more. Reminds me of many many health issues not well disclosed, disseminated or just maybe maliciously ignored whether arrogance or intentional ignorance. Especially these more psychological and osteopathic like methods that don't require drug medications. Anyways, I'll comment the same here as well in a paste of the copy below in a comment reply. Wondering if they've seen anyone or looked into those connected or experiencing the health attacks/assaults, a.k.a. "Havana Syndrome?" Seems like since U.S. military have come out with, as well as some of the inventors, they may have some experience regarding that I don't recall reading about or watching in the reports that are public. May only be a very specific symptom of very specific assault modalities that are more aggressive photonic-phononic methods I term as "body assaults" versus the milder sound or mind control assaults that might not even cause a high enough physical assault from the transverse or shear waves I believe is the term for the mechanical induced effect... where the phononic effect (high enough pressure from sound or RF expansion and contraction or maybe only specific resonances or other) is that effect from the boundary condition transform. I know nurses are like with me at times... can't do anything without a helmet and can't do many things anyways... having that trauma medicine background family I guess as well. Then again... the Dr's are more bold and just enjoy life! 🙂 Though some days I wonder if they're promoting their business... wishy washy joking. 😕🙂 Though yeah... some nurses are like... don't ride bikes, no motorcycles, no dirt bikes, no four wheelers, no race cars, etc. especially the unbalanced motorcycles is just nuts. I balked on the trophy truck renting, though caves on the off road dune buggy's since man those are enjoyable for some reason. Roller coasters land even like gravitron and those upside down hammer like rides that flip and hold upside down seem enjoyable as well... though I never have told any nurses and haven't been on since being a teen. 🙂 Anyways, great details and thanks again for sharing! Wishing all the best! Kind Regards.
Reminds me more thinking about how the ER/ICU Dr's and Nurse's noted that being bed ridden each day actually adds to whatever the condition being hospitalized is going to last... I've experienced and I've witnessed more than once. So something like for each day bed ridden (almost can consider like very sedentary maybe?) plan on 2-6(?) days longer to take to get back to feeling, as was, prior to the health condition where made bed ridden in the ER/ICU.
Had a concussion when i was like 12 but i don’t have any headaches and can’t remember having it meanwhile i went to the hospital i think can’t remember that though.. I did roll over the bed and did fall in the lying around 1,5 meters. I never did look what possible long time side effects it could have..
Thanks Scotty, for sharing this clip. I'd just watched your Micronics review, the first time I've seen your page, and subscribed immediately. Then browsing back into this episode, I'm feeling kind'a daja vue. I'm renovating my own makerspace into my home, and planning to start my own channel, too (cool name, btw). I'm a TBI survivor, so I'm intrigued to see this interview, and so I'm looking into CognativeFX now, too. Party on, dude P.S.: if you haven't transformed your CT scan or MRI into a full scale 3D print, I highly recommend doing so. The print looks cool, but that's just the first step. Too many options to list, and I haven't even found the best one yet.
It's bizarre to me that she recommends you go to a doctor 24-48 hours after you get a concussion. You should go the doctor immediately if you even suspect you have a concussion so they can check you out.
That was not was she said. She said that after you had been diagnosed, and is resting, if you don't get better within 24-48 you should go, cus it might be something worse
@@ric_dk-9520 that's not what she said at all. She said if you had a concussion you should cocoon for 24 to 48 hours and if your symptoms persist or get worse you should see a doctor. It might have been insinuated but it wasn't said.

I think I'm experiencing post-concussion syndrome from a car accident with two impact vectors. I'm approaching two weeks of not feeling myself.
