Convergence Insufficiency diagnosis
I sustained a concussion at work about 7 weeks ago (but who's counting?) and now have photosensitivity. Additionally, certain movements (that I do and see others doing) result in nausea, dizziness, and headaches. The worker's comp neurologist just diagnosed me with Convergence Insufficiency and is requesting a series of tests but said that they're costly so he doesn't know if they'll be approved. What can I do to correct this? It really sucks.
Fatness Studies
Could you do a show on fatness? William Li just put out an amazing book on fat/metabolism/diet. There is so much confusion around this topic. I have a colleague in my department that teaches a class on fatness. The class covers some of the terrible social biases against fat people, but it also minimizes the problem of fat on health and it indicts the medical field. My own personal research finds that fatness/obesity is a risk factor for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune etc... I think that those who engage in fatness studies might be a bit irresponsible given the health risks associated with being fat.
Is anyone at Stanford researching TBIs or Glasgow Coma Scale? I am currently visiting Stanford and will be in SF all week.
And if I could meet sexy Huberman, that would be sweet, too. Kidding. Mostly. Two years ago I was hit-and-run by an SUV while cycling. I had a Glasgow Coma Scale of 3, which has a super high mortality rate. Approximately 5% survive, and those survivors permanently need caretakers and can't return to independent living. I, on the other hand, have healed incredibly well very quickly and have returned to independent living, driving across the country, and solo travel. Obviously, someone should study me to assess why I healed so well so we can help other TBI survivors. I aspire to find someone to research me. Other Neuro practitioners have recommended case studies. I have not seen one related to Glasgow Coma Scale, and I suspect there are possibly no others who have healed as well as me, and certainly not enough participants to warrant a case study. I'm only visiting Stanford briefly (though I could take my MBA....) but whatever. I can go anywhere. How can I alert TBI researchers that I have an unusually successful circumstance that should be looked into?
