Keep resting and build up the good days
Hello!
There are a lot of good people here who will support you. Yes, learn your triggers and how to reduce them as much as you can.
Feeling better is a tricky thing with a brain injury. I had to learn how to gently link good days together and not push too hard, too much, or too fast. All of that can lead to set backs (which might happen anyhow).
Gail Denton's book BrainLashed help explain brain healing to me. She is a therapist who got PCS from a bike accident.
Hang in there and ask your questions.
All for now,

[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.
