Welcome to our little brain boo boo club.

When you're suffering, 3.5 months can feel like a lifetime. While benchmarks vary from doctor to doctor, my specialist doesn't diagnosis PCS until the symptoms have persisted for six months. Most people DO make good recoveries from TBI. I hope that you will continue to heal, with the passage of time.

In the interim, it sounds like you're doing many good things for yourself. If you haven't tried it, I'd suggest icing the back of your neck to see if it eases your headaches.

I also noted that emotional therapy was missing from your list of treatments. You might want to consider working with a psychologist experienced in PCS. As you are well aware, TBI can have a tremendous psychological impact.
