EXCELLENT website on PhotoBioModulation (red light therapy)
This website seems dedicated to TBI (traumatic brain injury caused by
injuries
to the
head
/brain by football, etc. But their aim is the same thing we strive for: HEALING our brain. Many, many great links on this website that I just discovered tonight! STAY STRONG!

A few more TBI facts; neurological, physiological, psychological.
Whiplash and impact
injuries
damage the neck, face and
head
. Nerves in the cervical spine get impinged and tissue damage causes inflammation that compress nerves, both cause tremors in the body and affect signalling to the vestibular system and facial muscles causing balance and visual issues.

Fisiocrem
Has anyone tried fisiocrem? Sounds a bit like deep heat. I wondered if it's OK to use alongside pred. I'm not holding out much hope for it but I'm willing to try anything to sort out my neck ache! Here's the description of it: "Fioscrem soothing massage rub for use on tense and contracted muscle areas

Are my symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency especially burning sensation.
Hi Hoping people can tell me if some weird symptoms I'm having are consistent with B12 deficiency. I'm in the UK London. I have started getting burning skin sensations - feels like someone applied deep heat when I wasn't looking. I get these on my forearms, shoulders, patches on my upper back. They

Deep heat, deep freeze, or massage oil?
I've been massaging my legs for 1-2 min each night before bed, and it seems to help a bit. What has your experience been? Also, have you tried something like deep heat or deep freeze, and how did that go?

Chronic back pain and pain relief?
Hi all Looking for some advice re pain killers for awful lower backache. I had a stent fitted in my LAD a year ago and on the usual meds ie Ticagrelor, Atorvastatin, Aspirin. Everything I read it seems I shouldn’t take ibuprofen only paracetamol which doesn’t touch the pain. Been seeing an osteopath

CRASH.
I’d been given some packs of medication and a small leaflet about
head
injuries
that advised plenty of rest, to eat light meals, and no alcohol for five days. I was told that should any symptoms such as blurred vision, vomiting, or seizures occur, to return to the hospital.

Neuropathy treatments
Unfortunately as we all know, good treatment for neuropathy is generally poor. I've tried as most people have everything. The only way I control my feet neuropathy is plenty of walking icing and messaging with deep heat before bed. The only medication I take is ibuprofen - one table 400mg give me 50%

Cerebral Fluid leak
After several
head
injuries
in 70s and 80s I then had one in 1990 which caused a small tear in the membrane contaning the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and it leaked out through one nostril. That one healed and for 25 years I didn't have another, despite more head bangs.

High systolic blood pressure but normal diastolic blood pressure meaning in B12 deficiency, do you have the same issue?
My systolic blood pressure 14.5 mm hg and diastolic blood pressure is between 9.2 to 8.1 Is that normal and I have mostly muscle weakness neuropathy. Higher systolic blood pressure is the root cause of heart attack. I'm to see my cardiologist on October. My High systolic blood pressure is not related
