Default Hang in there!

Hey

5 months in with the dreaded pcs is a small amount of time, and just saying. But you can expect to heal. The brain can heal. Yes, it does heal, but we never can say when or how or why. No 2 healing are the same.

Live each day as it comes. I did get some sudden uplifts and you might too. Read up about this. The book Brain Lashed by Gail Denton helped me a lot. You can likely get this from your public library.

Do everything you can via diet, extra vitamins and supplements, and calming yourself to reduce stress in you life. These things are your roads to healing.

My tinnitis is mostly gone or I can't hear it unless very tired.

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.
