Hello!
Hi There
So sorry to hear you are struggling with PCS. This is a very good place.
Mark gave you good advice. if there is any way you can leave your job and put recovery first, you will get better faster. That requires leading a dull life for awhile.
If you have to work with this, and some do, then see if you can take mental breaks from work. As for the heat,i don't know what to say. Heat can bother me too even now.
Anyhow, keep asking questions and people will weigh in to try and help you. Just know that your symptoms are real and we can understand what you are going through.
Sincerely,
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.
