My anxiety/tension was at a level that I was getting tension waves through my body which I could physically feel, I think this was increasing fatigue levels along with other physical symptoms. By relieving the anxiety/tension most of my symptoms have now gone altogether. Good luck with your recovery.

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
