Healing from a concussion/TBI
Healing from a concussion/TBI is straightforward with up to date medical care. The Diffusion of Innovation is so often delayed in technology and medical care! Many patients like myself have been told that they cannot recover from Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS). After being examined by four major medical centers in NJ in the course of three years I was left with no path forward after suffering from severe fatigue, noise sensitivity, brain fog and other impediments.
The support of my spouse Carolyn Rocco , and my children Veronica Rocco , Keith Rocco during the many years of a frustratingly dimmed life were crucial to my recovery. I challenged my family in many unique and embarrassing ways but we all survived due to their immense patience and love.
In the December issue of Brain Injury Hope Magazine I detail my recovery.
These are the proven therapies that I found.
Vision therapy
Exercise therapy+
Exposure therapy
Balance/vestibular therapy
The UPMC Sports Concussion Program?led by Dr. Micky Collins and Dr. Anne Mucha fixed all of my symptoms and everyone that I have referred to them!

7 个月forgot to ask...didn't you graduate from Cornell with a degree in Economics or did you slip over to the Med School in your spare time? I was quit impressed with our article in Brain Injury Hope Magazine!

7 个月Kudos to you Al for having the fortitude & perseverance to take the lead in your own healthcare journey. My 37 yr old daughter was (unfortunately) on a similar conveyor belt of medical ineptitude when diagnosed with breast cancer...pick an oncologist, pick a hospital & have a nice day. WTF? She, like you, took control of her own healthcare journey & with the care and guidance of the City of Hope she's in full recovery mode. That's a lesson for all...question everything. Your doctor may have finished at the bottom of his/her class.

8 个月Having known you for years, I saw what you went through on this and the hard road that you traveled. The knowledge you (through necessity) acquired about concussion, in my opinion, gives people more useful insight than they would ever get from most doctors. Well done on getting this information out there!
