Thanks guys, I wanted to emphasize that recovery does continue after the first year and that you do adapt. It's a case of lots of small victories adding up and steadily making you stronger.

Luckily I'm self employed and single, my income took a dive but I've managed to stay afloat by pacing myself and working in short stints. If I'd been an employee I have no doubt I would have lost my job - my fatigue was overwhelming. Also, I don't think a relationship would have stayed the course, my emotional state was too fragile plus I wouldn't have wanted to put someone through my ordeal. People who have small children and have to cope with full blown PCS have my sympathy - maybe it drives them to keep going?

Hoping to rebuild a social life and get my confidence back to where it was.
