Hang tight!
Hello and welcom here.
Sorry to hear of your daughter and all her struggles. You are soooooooooo wise to let her heal. She only has one brain, and PCS and all the other things are real.
There are also some groups on facebook with some teens / young adults who are struggling with PCS. Look under post concussion syndrome on face book and see what you can find. You can also join groups too and there is plenty of info here.
Her brain can heal. Please be as optimistic as you can. She will have to let it heal though by reducing stress in her life and diet and nutrition are important too. Brain healing takes time -- measured in months and years sometimes. No one can say how long it may take.
Sincerley,

[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.
