I know everyone is different but I would appreciate your views-Has anyone else gone back to work too early or 'to just give it a try'?

Glad you found the site....It has really helped me face/deal with my issues - though I didn't find it until this spring and my concussion was 2 1/2 almost three years ago.
If you are able NOT to go back to work i.e. financial etc. then I strongly suggest that you take your time. I went back to work after 1 month....obviously not enough time to heal but had to in order to pay my bills and keep a roof over my head and the fact that my neurologist did not mention it could be a possible problem (I have changed neurologist since then)....I've continued to have problems that doctors are classifying as being permanent - maybe just maybe if I had not gone back to work so soon would the issues have been temporary? I'll never know now. I have vestibular issues, loss of short term memory, balance, processing information. I just had my 2nd MRI and the damage to the back of my head in the grey matter has not healed, not gotten worse but not gotten better either. Still trying to work, though my work has become very frustrated with me and my lack of performance....
Talk it over with your doctors...and choose your path wisely.
