islestfw,

I understand your despair. It can be very frustrating. That horrible feeling in the morning often means you are not getting quality sleep. Sleep can be a big challenge after a concussion. The anxiety of such a change in your life is also a struggle. But, many of us have found ways to go on and live a full life despite any prolonged symptoms.

As much as the subway incident trigger some troubling symptoms, I doubt it was a concussion. The startle or aggravation effect of such a bump can cause enough mental stress to cause symptoms to return. It helps to not get focused on every bump and jostle. They cannot be avoided and are a part of life.

Have you tried any nutritional regimens ? The Vitamins sticky link has a good regimen. The struggling brain needs substantially more nutrition, especially B vitamins.

It helps to keep busy in low stress ways. The memory and word finding struggles are common and made worse by stress and anxiety. In time, these should improve.

What kind of work do you do ? How long is your commute ? By subway ?

These things can be adding to your stress levels.


My best to you.
