I agree with you about trying too hard. It is very hard not to try too hard as it seems to go against everything that you have learnt in the past. I still have trouble with this.
Often when I continue with something my husband tells me that I am being selfish as he knows that I will be unbearably tired and unable to do anything until I have caught up my minor energy levels a few days later. That really makes me think and it has now sunk in that how I am feeling effects others.
Do you conisder PCS is part of mild TBI? I haven't been able to get any of my specialists to answer that. I believe that the PCS is the brain's reaction to TBI. Do you agree?
Thanks for you last post.

Hi Lynlee,
Now, I'm wondering too. I hadn't ever heard of PCS (before coming to this site). I presumed that PCS was another way of saying traumatic brain injury. So I guess that I don't know if PCS is part of mild TBI. Sorry
My personal health is complicated. I don't know if I'm typical. The cause of my mild TBI was sliping on the ice 3/07 and falling on my head. This caused the plate in my head to shift on impact on bleed a little. The plate in my head is from surgery to remove seizure focus (for epilepsy) 3/06. Anyway, that's how we know that my symptoms are permanent. Many of those I've talked with about their TBI have also experienced permanent changes to many aspects of their lives.
