Ah coffee
Hello!
I quit caffeine for about a year. Then, in the winter I let myself have one or maybe 2 cups of decaf and that was OK.
I tried a little bit of caffeine coffee in my decaf in April and whoooooooo I got a big old caffeine high. And I put in maybe 1.5 inches of real java, but I could not handle it. I had to walk it off.
Decaf has been a good middle ground for me and it has that wee trace which I like. So, maybe decaf can help you too.
I am not going to get back on the caffeine train I was on pre injury though and I know I don't handle it well either.
Take care

[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.
