OK I have this horrible way of not reading things fully -- my issues with PCS too. I just reread your post and read more fully.

I reread the part about trying to go to a concert -- right now that is way to much for your brain to handle too which you are finding out. If you can really brain rest, then eventually you will be able to do some of those fun things again. But it might be awhile. I am in month 9 and mostly recovered and have not yet gone to the movies. If I do go, I have to be prepared to leave.

As for exercise, be really careful here. Don't do anything that really pumps your brain and heart -- like you maybe used to do. That just aggravates your brain healing too. I can't tell you medically why, but I know it's true. Don't work out for now.

You can do some gentle things like walking (not power walking) and yoga that doesn't involve head snapping moves. Gentle exercise is good.

Read the stickie about vitamins and nutrition.

Basically, find ways to reduce the stress in your life. Meditation helps me. Learning to be really still and silent.

I know it's upsetting and there is a mourning process with all of this. But if you give yourself the months of low stress and gently learn to add back some stimulation, you can get better.

Let us know how you are and others will also weigh in.

Here's wishing you some peace!
