Exercise
Hello Kacee
As for exercise, you can do some exercise like walking, and maybe swimming is good too. You do want to oxygen into the brain, but not in a hard, heart pounding kind of way. No pumping iron or going to exhaustion.
I got better by walking. At first it was just to my mail box or the stop sign down the road. That was about .2 of a mile. I added on to this very gradually. It took about a month and I could walk a mile. I waited for a few weeks and if I felt better, I added on to it.
I can't give you all the medical, docotor reasons for doing gentle exercise, but I do know it helped me.
I hope this helps you too.
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.
