I am at 13 months since my concussion. There have been some dark moments I can tell you, but this is a long term thing. Little baby steps at a time, month after month. PCS does not respond well to pushing your limits or trying to work through pain and discomfort, even at advanced levels of recovery, never take for granted that you are feeling better. It can and will come back and hit you hard.

PCS does respond well to dicapline. This means limiting stressors on your brain, regular sleep and eating patterns, a healthy attitude towards making progress, no drinking, eating well and generally being sensible about what your injured brain can handle. Staying up until 3am playing call of duty won't help.

You brain will have a lag to it, over do it and expect to start feeling ill a couple of days later. A broken leg will let you know in real time if you're aggravating it. An injured brain will let you know, much later. This has cost me many set backs.
