ED,
Try not to fret and worry about your symptoms, they will go, it can just take a very long time. PCS symptoms are a desperate state of affairs, but they happen for a reason.
Fatigue is there because your brain and body need rest, lie down and if you can get a couple of hours sleep during the day.
Headaches, light and noise sensitivity are all closely linked. I am not a doctor, but I personally believe in my case all this was related to changes in cerebral blood flow and widened blood vessels. When I took medication which narrowed blood vessels, the symptoms reduced.
At this time, you have to be selfish! Avoid TV, radio, computing, video games, conversation - isolate yourself and get silent quiet rest. It will pay off in the end!
