Hi C&F,

It sounds like you've had a nasty bump and that you may have a concussion (mild traumatic brain injury; mTBI). Many of the issues you describe are common with concussion, though I'm not as certain about the vision issues. Regarding this, it does seem pretty dramatic. The good news, though, is that if you've had a couple CT scans that indicated no macroscropic issues (bleeding), it's likely you're okay. However, I am not a medical doctor.

What you might want to do is take some time off, if possible, and remove yourself from stress and situations that exacerbate your symptoms. Early on in recovering from a TBI, nutrition (see vitamin sticky at the top of the home page), sleep, and withdrawal from activity are pretty important.

If you're like the majority of people who have a concussion, your symptoms will resolve and you'll get back to being yourself in the near future. However, trying to "power" through the symptoms, poor nutrition, and little rest will tend to prolong things.

Best of luck.
