I have been reading your posts and they are very helpful. Thank you. I had a concussion a little over two weeks ago now. My symptoms didn't start until two days later. I am definitely getting better but I think as I am getting better I am becoming more aware of what I am not able to do. I am reaching out because you all sound encouraging and calming. I found myself last night as I was falling asleep getting paranoid that I am not a lot better. I didn't get a CT scan - my Dr. offered because he said they do not always show up and the treatment would not change. I started to be mad at myself for just not double checking but then as I said I am improving. I promised my daughter if I wasn't significantly better this week I would get one; however, I now realize I might not be. It may be a longer road than I want to admit to myself. My headaches are mainly gone. Still a bit of pressure feeling. TV obviously sets it off esp if lots of movement. Noises annoying no longer painful. Light sensitivity better. My Dr. said all normal. I did go out for a drive yesterday with my hubby he drove - we actually went to our couples therapy. I stayed very calm but I am not wondering if the effort set me back. I went out last week he dropped me off at Target; I was buying a gift. I felt ok I was standing there and some women banged into my cart so hard -accidentally. She wasn't looking and walking fast. She felt so bad because I started to cry. I have noticed the weepiness when I feel mental struggle like that. That plus other activity set me back. We are supposed to move in three weeks not far away; but, I am not sure about packing.Money is tight. I appreciate you reading this. I see how far worse others are so I feel a bit of not wanting to feel sorry for myself and I guess I just need to get it out of my head so to speak. I am definitely improving; maybe I am just impatient. I cannot take fish oil, anaphylactic to all shellfish and they cannot guarantee. My husband bought me Omega 3 tablets instead-vegan. Anyway I can feel I'm a little stressed -slight headache coming on. I really feel grateful to have others to talk to who get it. My family is understanding and supportive but it scares my girls and I know my husband has stiff upper lip trying to keep faith and solve/not solve it. It's hard on everyone. Once again thanks. I do listen to healing music very softly which is calming.
