dizziness
Hello again!
I had pretty bad dizziness for awhile. It got better when I got vestibular therapy. I had to get a referral from a neurologist for that.
I have not had really bad headaches, but have had a few. I had to quit drinking caffeine and have stayed off of that even now that I am better.
Is there any way you can rest your brain? I mean really give it rest like no reading, no TV, no screens, nothing stimulating -- even driving etc.
I had to leave work for awhile in order to get better. Some people have no choice but to try and work while healing their brain.
I know other, very experienced people will weigh in here. I am limited with what I can tell you for getting better, but I do offer hope.
all for now

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
