Brain healing is sllooowwww
Hello everyone
yes, it's a long slog getting better. I know I felt some sudden uplifts along my pcs journey and you might get those too. No 2 healings are just the same though.
I got some comfort from the book Brainlashed by Gail Denton. She is a therapist who got a tbi. The chapters are short and you can likely get or order this book free from your public library.
Hang in there. Your brain can heal. You will never be just as you were before your accident, but you might even be a better person on the other side of healing. I am.
Hope you can find something positive in you day.
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.
