Thanks for your reply. I am beginning to realize that part of my issue is not realizing how much stress I've been under to force myself to get better so I could get back to work. I've lost my job now, so that particular stress is gone.
I'll check out that vitamin thread. I've located a book on Amazon about nutrition after TBI and I may buy it. I'll check out Gail Denton's Brainlashed book too. Anything that will help!
I seem to need a lot of sleep lately. I'm just trying to go with the flow.

Check out the vitamin thread and think over your nutrition. I know that in itself is not a cure all.
Find ways to reduce stress in your life. I know it's very boring to be on brain rest, but it is needed. Listen to audiobooks, but try to limit screens and visual stimulation.
Hang in there for the better days to come. PCS is a life changer, there is no doubt in my mind about that. But recovery is possible. It just is not like getting over a broken bone or a virus. The book Brainlashed by Gail Denton helped me understand PCS as well as this place.
Here's wising you well,
