School and thinking
Oh boy, you are in early days for your brain injury healing. I hope you can delay your classes or find a way to take time off to really let your brain heal.
You probably don't want to hear this. I didn't want to hear it or believe it either when I got my concussion and PCS either, but I had to leave work and put full time into healing in order to give myself the best chance of recovering.
You are in the uncharted waters of brain healing and no one can tell you how long it will take, but it does take time, and there is nothing you can do to hurry it along. Being in school and thinking and trying to read won't let your brain heal.
Can you talk to your counseling department at your school to find out some options? Can your doctor or neurologist write something to let the school know about the limitations you have now and that you need brain healing?
I am just trying to give some ideas here.
I hope you find a way to get some peace and quiet in your life.
Sincerely,
pm

[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.
