Default My symptoms

I am into my fourth month since I was whacked in the head. I have been back to work for about 15 hours a week (some less, no more that 20 in the 5 weeks I have been working again)

Fatigue (staying awake for days getting about 3-4 hours of sleep a night)

Waking Hangovers - When I do sleep and wake up I feel like I have a really bad hangover that lasts from an hour to a few hours in the mornings

Vertigo- Mainly in open spaces, driving, and quite noticable when walking

Nausea

Flashes of Temper- which I have termed as Red Rage from very minor incidences

Ear Pain

Vision problems- periphrial seems to be the main problem as I can not always tell where things are and feel lost in space at times

Migraines - funny enough I have had them so consitently, I really only notice when I DONT have one

Balance Problems

Word recall- for some reason this affects me mainly when I am typing. I will type random words and only realize it makes no sense when I go back and reread

Random forgetfullness of what I am doing, or rather what I intended to do lol

Concentration - Most of the time I can focus just fine on things, but I do seem to have a higher tendency to be flighty on bad days
