Mattsocal,

Alcohol has no interference to pass thru the blood-brain barrier, and is a brain toxin; your brain is still in repair, those cells in repair are super-sensitive, and any irritant is deleterious to the process.

Also, even though, at the time, you felt good doing it, the running impacts/ sliding impacts, whatever impacts of baseball; the wrenching impacts of surfing, all having impact in the healing brain, and you later felt those effects.

Back off again, slow down again; give yourself time again. How much you were affected is something only time can tell.

Check out the Vitamin/Supplement link on the forum started by MarkofIdaho. Very useful.

Rest.

Fatigue goes with our problem. Rest is something useful. The supplements / vitamins are useful. Slowing down is useful. Its hard but useful.

Headaches accompany many of our problems........ yes, our docs may help, check out our threads, many of us use different medications; different docs prefer different medications dependent on what they perceive is the root causation........ Check with your doc , ask him after he has taken a complete history and examination of you about your headaches and concussion.....

Be sure to check out the medication he recommends before just accepting it, it may not be to your liking regarding side effect possibilities, etc. be sure to be an informed consumer. This site may help with info on some usual medications used - the heading is about Migraines because many concussion sufferers are diagnosed with post-traumatic migraines.

Best Wishes.
