CerebrumIniuriam & Wndswptlady,

For starters:

Vitamin/Supplements by MarkofIdaho - useful Brain supplements thread on these forums.

Brainline.org - useful informative place to gather information starter.

Everything will first start with REST. Even reading a book can be a challenge. Have someone close - wife, girl/boy-friend read about the information for you.

Turn off TV, Cellphones, lights, noise, etc. Get quiet and comfortable as possible. If you have an injury that could have involved the neck in any way -Ice the neck 4 to 6 times daily , as much as tolerated, to ease the injury there too.

MarkofIdaho had a formula for a cheap ice pack he made up, sounds good to use - ice and isopropyl alcohol I think - can be found on the forums somewhere.

Lightrail and Brokenbrilliant have told you some good things - its all real.

You should be seeing a good Neurologist or Physiatrist(Physical Medicine Specialist) - experienced in TBI care/concussions/PCS) - ask them about their experience.

No one can predict whats going on, whats coming next, whats about to change, what changes can be expected - not even your docs. AND, no MD can tell you with any certainty that its going to be all better in 'such and such' time - if they do they are even fooling themselves.

They need to be listening to YOU, hearing what you are telling them your problems are, and making arrangements for therapies dependent on your symptoms, every time those symptoms change for better or worse - including being very informative as to expected/possible side effects of any possible medications they are recommending for use for your headaches or other problems.

And of course, if you are uncertain afterwards, you always have your new friends here on these forums.

Best Wishes.............
