Hello and welcome
Hi Fish
I read what you wrote, and I can tell you that as for tinnitis, there is nothing for it. (I mean no pills or exercises you can do to make it go away) It might get better with time, and you will likely learn to live with it and adapt around it. My tin tin ear is louder when I am more tired -- and I do feel tired right now.
As for headaches, I am no expert in these at all. But if you haven't already done so, quit or greatly reduce caffeine. I quit caffeine and am better for it. Others here might address your headaches.
Are you still in school? If you are, you are using your brain a ton, and it's injured. Your symptoms are your brain telling you it needs rest.
If you have to stay in school and try to repair your brain, I am not sure how you can do that.
You are still in early days of recovery and PCS. You probably know that, but if not, just try to take comfort in that.
I am really tired, and need to log off.
Here's wishing you rest and peace.
Sincerley,
poetrymom

[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.
