*admin edit* my head pain is so bad. *admin edit*

I fainted in May and hit the front of my head on a concrete floor sustaining a concussion. 3 weeks later, I fainted again and hit the back of my head on a window sill. Each time there were no warnings that I was about to faint.

I've lost my job because my FMLA has run out. I've seen cardiologist and neurologist and am scheduled to go to rehab specializing in post concussion syndrome.

I am taking Topamax for head pain (started yesterday) and Tramadol or tylenol for intermittent pain. I'm dizzy, nauseous, cranky, light and sound sensitive, have trouble with conversations and can't drive. I am pretty miserable.

I've been searching for a place to come and talk to other about their progression in healing from concussions and it looks like I've found it!

Other than staying locked in a dark, quiet room, have you found anything else that helps with the headaches? I think if I can just get the headaches to go away, I'll be able to work on everything else. I went from being a happy, joyous, outgoing person to a recluse. I want my life back. I am a young 60 !

Thanks
