It is very likely your drinking and partying is causing your struggles. You should stay away from any intoxicating substances for at least 6 months if not longer. Getting drunk should be off your list. You will be surprised how the once injured brain can be very sensitive to alcohol.
You don't say how long it has been since your injury. It sounds like you may be still in the early stages of recovery.

Thanks for your reply! I am almost 2 months out from the initial injury. The first ct scan was on fri april 25 and the second was sunday april 27....I am just curious if i could've done damage or if it just set me back... I am definitely refraining from all substances from here on out... The doctors and the neurosurgeon were not very informative. So I have little to no knowledge of what i am dealing with.
So am I in the clear for brain bleeding and or swelling? Am i just dealing with post concussion issues? what can i do to get over this? I know everyone says rest but ive also heard graded exercise to be beneficial...thanks for your help
