Hi Margn - so sorry to hear about your fall. It is early days yet for you.

Really all that I can suggest is don't over do anything. My problem is that I tried to carry on exactly as I had been. So be kind to yourself, take it easy, let your husband look after everything as I firmly believe the early days effect your over all over out come for recovery.

You have probably read about me, I am now 6 and half years post accident and have huge fatigue issues, my doctor has now given me 3 months off work as I was totally exhuasted and the past years seem to have caught up with me together with depression. At the moment I am overly anxious about everything - todays issues: had a puncture in my car, have to get that fixed and orgainise a birthday cake - 2 things to do and it is enough to get me to panic - so hard to believe compared to the old me. I still can't tolerate noise especially noise from crowds, nor bright lights.

If you are feeling depressed what about seeing a psychatrist? My one told me last year that he thought that if he had seen me in the first 6 months I wouldn't be like I am now - I don't know how factual that really is but it is food for thought!

So be kind to yourself and give your brain a chance to recover. Pushing yourself simply has the reverse effect and I found that it is hard to understand that.
