Hi and welcome
Hello,
Sorry for all your pcs struggles. If you can, take as much time as you can in order to heal. Mark has given you good advice and ideas.
It took me awhile to learn the metaphor that recovery inPCS is a marathon of learning your symptoms and how to avoid things that will cause you set backs. Each person has to figure it out for themselves, but this forum and ther are others on FB, will help you.
Try to reduce the stress in your life including worries about your condition. I know that is hard, but look into meditation, gentle yoga -- acupuncture -- taking gentle walks -- whatever it is that helps you find some calm>
Hang in there. PCS is a journey, but it doesn't have to be comepletely scary. Keep asking your questions and finding good answers that work for you. We will help you here as much as we can.
Take care,
PM

[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.
