Oh my.. you have a lot going on... I am sorry for everything you are going through... to answer your question
Yes, I was told today that stress can hinder recovery... I am also living it right now... I am staying with my parents in Dallas, 900 miles away form my "life".. husband, 3 kids, all in different activities... since I have been here... living a more stress free life my headaches have decreased, not gone but gone down for sure, this in return has helped me concentrate on finding the proper cognitive therapy I need...
I would say talk to another neuro, get a neuropsych and start a vitamin regime... but that is MY opinion...

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.
Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.
Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture
