Cerebrolysin 20-day course log — cognitive post-concussion
23 posts
Post-concussion symptoms 6 months out from a bike crash — brain fog, word-finding, fatigue. Formal rehab done. Running a standard cerebrolysin course to see if it moves the needle.
Baseline:
- Self-rated brain fog 1-10: 6
- Word-finding issue episodes/day: 3-5
- Daily fatigue 1-10: 5.5
Stack:
- Cerebrolysin 5ml IM daily x 20 days
- 5 days on, 2 off, repeat
- No other new variables

Day 5: fog 5, word-finding 3, fatigue 5. Maybe? Injections are 5ml IM which is a lot, quad is sore.

Cerebrolysin post-concussion is one of the cleanest use cases for it. Keep logging.

Day 10: fog 4, word-finding 2, fatigue 4. Clear improvement. Coworkers noticed I'm more 'with it' this week.

Day 15: fog 3, word-finding 1, fatigue 4. Energy hasn't moved as much as cognition. Sleep also seems deeper.

The real test is whether it holds after the course. Please come back in a month.

Day 20 FINAL: fog 3, word-finding 0-1, fatigue 4. Ended course. Cognition significantly better, fatigue moderately better. Going to reassess in 4 weeks to see if it holds.

3 weeks post-course: fog 3.5, word-finding 1, fatigue 4. Holding so far. Will do a repeat course in 3 months per what my neurologist and I discussed.
