Recovery is a numbers game. 85% recover with little or no intervention within 6 to 8 weeks. The rest can take much longer.

The key indicator is pre-existing anxiety and depression. People with pre-existing anxiety and depression can take a long time to recover.

Also, people who refuse to slow down and moderate their environment tend to take longer. We have had many here on NT who refused to slow down who spent years struggling. When they slowed down and accepted their current condition as the way things are and built a life within those limits, they started to improve.

Comparing to others is very problematic. Do not do it.

Some of us have lived with PCS for years or even decades. We learn to live with our limits. We find work-arounds and make accommodations and move on.

I've lived with PCS for 54 years. I have had serious symptoms since 1/16/2001.

There is no single treatment. Different treatments may help with different symptoms.

What symptoms are your worst?

What changes have you made and what treatments/therapies have you done?
