courtney,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Your symptoms sound like a concussion. You need to go to the doctor or ER if you experience any of the following:

Extreme headaches, especially focal head aches. Lost of motor control, especially on one side of your body. Vision changes or a very noticeable difference in the size of your pupils (somebody else needs to make this observation), extreme nausea,

At two weeks post injury, these events are very unlikely.

I also suggest you find a Medicaid clinic or county health clinic and ask for advice. There may be a nurse advice line you can call.

Stay away from alcohol and any intoxicants. They are bad for an injured brain.

Check out http://www.gatrustfund.org/ , the Georgia Brain Injury Trust Fund. They may have some resources for you.

Also, read the vitamins sticky at the top. It has some good links at the bottom of the first post.

Recovery from a concussion can be painfully slow. Do everything possible to lower your stress levels.


My best to you.
