Thanks for your comments. Update is I've now decided to try the anti-depressant my GP prescribed (Effexor) because the stress of this situation is starting to affect my sleep and general mood and that's not good when recovering from a TBI. My GP and I also put together a plan (and a note for my boss) on how long I should be at home, when I could consider going back part-time and how my workload will need to be reduced (or a support person provided) until I can get back up to speed. I felt much better after we did this. TBI causes such a loss of control that this little exercise helped me feel like I got a little back.

Am also going to talk with a psychologist Friday (who has experience with TBI patients), and am booked for a repeat CT (not expecting to find anything) and an appt with a neurologist next month.

So even though I feel lousy right now, at least feel like I'm doing everything I can to get better.

Need to go rest now...computer work bugs me too!

[\ I'm also off work and have been since around the beginning of september time. Before that i was off the odd week or two here and there. I know at this moment iin time work would be impossible for me as my headaches are severe luckily my work have been pretty understanding.

I was prescribed an antidepressant for pain (amitriptylene) and i found this to help my pain a great deal after 3/4 weeks. \
