Hi there,
From what I've read, this certainly infers post-concussion syndrome, though the problem with the condition is that there is no single specific method of treating the condition.
From migraine medication to regular exercise to reduced caffeine consumption to complete rest and avoidance of stimulation, it is important to (like Lori says) never give up. Trial and refine as many different possible treatments as possible through discussion with highly qualified medical professionals.
I wish you all the best with your recovery - and with you working in a prison, it's right that you don't rush back.
