Default concerts

I went to an Elton John concert in Nov. It was great, but I was not prepared for how tired I would be later.

The sound was not so much the problem -- but the lights and just the totality of working a full week, driving there, etc.

I know it set me back some. I had to wear my sunglasses to work a few times and I was just tired through and through from the exhileration.

But, that said, it was great. I'd do it again.

I hope you can rest rest rest before the concert and after too.

Cheering you on!

[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.
