Hello Jamie,

NeuroTalk is a good place. Look at the vitamin and stickie thread and I recommend you get some really good vitamins and really look over your diet to see what you can do to heal from the inside.

Avoid alcohol and caffeine too.

No 2 brain injuries are exactly alike and no recoveries are alike either.

I had the brain fog, light and sound sensitivity too, and dizziness. I got better from the dizziness through vestibular therapy. As for the light sensitivity -- sunglasses most everywhere for a long time, and I didn't go into those big box stores alone for awhile either.

So, if you have to shop, can someone go with you? I hope you have a support network to help you.

Time will help and be careful with exercise. Gentle things like walks or yoga might be best. You might try some meditation.

I had luck with acupunture, but it's not for everyone. I only went to a woman who does the community works model, and so pay what you can afford.

The biggest thing I had to learn early on is that recovery is a marathon, not a race. No one can really tell you when you will feel better. I know this is very scary, but also read the thread on PCS and hope.

I am mostly better now, with fatigue being the biggest problem at times.

Good luck and keep asking questions. Other, very experienced people will weigh in.

Take care!
