It helped yesterday. It didn't help today.
Does that mean it doesn't work?
Not necessarily.
Timing, duration, stress, and daily demands matter.
One hard day doesn't tell the whole story.
Today's A Midwest Minute With Matt: WHAT SHOULD I DO DURING A CONCUSSION FLARE-UP?
mwconcussion.com/podcast
Before “try this,” there should be “tell me more.”
After a concussion, “I can’t focus” starts the conversation. Understanding what that means in your daily life helps guide what comes next.
You deserve to be heard.
Better care begins with understanding.
A bad concussion day doesn't erase your progress.
Symptom tolerance can fluctuate with sleep, stress, activity, and other factors.
You tolerated grocery shopping yesterday.
Today, the same activity increased your concussion symptoms.
That doesn’t automatically mean you’re going backward.
Tolerance fluctuates. Sleep, stress, and cumulative demands matter.
Adjust the plan. Don’t erase the progress.
What helped your concussion symptoms yesterday might not help the same way today.
That doesn’t automatically mean you’ve lost progress.
Choose a tool. Give it time. Reassess. Adjust.
Your toolbox is allowed to have more than one tool.
#ConcussionRecovery
You don’t have to prove anything by pushing through overwhelming noise or light.
Use support intentionally. Find a manageable starting point. Build from there.

“I was doing better. Why do I feel worse?”
A difficult day doesn’t automatically mean you’ve lost progress.
Sleep. Stress. Activity. Daily demands.
Before drawing conclusions, consider the context.
Your progress still counts.

You don't have to figure out concussion recovery alone.
