Working Out, Oh boy....
Hi there,
I would caution you to proceed with more caution about working out. I am no doctor, but frankly, I think you are doing too much. Your symptoms are telling you something, so you should listen to your body.
Here is a suggestion. Can you do something like some nice power walking, or.... back off of the weights you lift and put less on-- so you can try and keep your muscles, but not build them?
I know for me, it was important not to do too much heart throbbing, head pounding kinds of work outs. I am still not sure if I can do that.
Others may weigh in here with more precise info.
Take care of your brain though. You only have one and the dox don't really know for sure how it heals.
Sincerley,

[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.
