Welcome to the group! At the same time, I'm so sorry you had to find us.

You should try to rest as much as possible, or at least pace yourself, until your symptoms disappear or are not exacerbated by activity.

Try things gently, but if your symptoms get worse it could mean you're trying too much.

Please give yourself a few weeks to get better. Most symptoms caused by concussion resolve themselves within the first couple of weeks, few months and at the worst a year.

Some symptoms develop or show up within the first few weeks too. So just keep a watchful eye on yourself, if you can, and as you are able to, and don't freak out if your symptoms change or seem to get worse.

Even if this happens, you could just spontaneously wake up one day feeling all better. Concussions are complex and unpredictable so try to be patient, flexible and understanding with the process.
