I should have started earlier.
When I finally did, I would drive 10 mins to the gym. Lie down for half an hour to recover. Walk on the treadmill holding on looking down at my feet. Lie down to recover. Drive home. Sleep for an hour.
Over months it got easier.
10 years later I can sustain a 100hr working week

Thanks, Stavia. I remember you finally began to get better after beginning the exercise. Hard as it was to start. And I recall you kept getting better and better as you continued with it. Quite amazing.
Stavia, your story is phenomenal and inspiring. It refutes what I've always heard: that all of the recovery from a brain injury takes place during the first year. Have you ever written a paper describing your experience? The world should know. How many neurologists have tried getting their patients on a treadmill? You should write a book.

thank you but even if I wrote it, it wouldn't be believed as factual.
Mainstream medicine pays lip service to "lifestyle" but doesn't really believe it works as well as drugs.
Unfortunately this creates a population of patients who believe the power to be healthy depends on a drug or a supplement.
