welcome
Hello Golden,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. This is a good place with lots of experienced people. I am sorry to hear of your concussion.
6 weeks in is pretty early stages of recovery. I do recall not being able or wanting to read early on. I remember knitting made me very tired too. Those tired symptoms are telling you something. Don't push yourself to do that activity at this time.
It will pass, and no one can say how long it might take. But let yourself continue to rest and heal. Brain healing takes time and more time.
Let us know what else we can help you with.
All for now
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.
