I am 17 months out from a head injury. I was having daily headaches that pretty much ruled my life. I have been working with a neurologist trying to find a med that would take care of my headaches enough to be able to function during the day. After a few that didn't work, I was finally put on Topamax. It has knocked them down a bit. There are still things that I have troubles with, but I decided that this summer I was not going to let it drag me down. I spent last summer doing almost nothing because of headaches and fatigue and all the other stuff that goes along with PCS. I have problems with exercising, but also gained weight when not exercising which then lead to a little bit of depression which started this whole cycle. My daughter bought the P90X system and we have been doing that. Yesterday as a plyometrics day with a lot of jumping and today I feel like crap. But, I know that tomorrow I will not feel that way so I do it. I know what triggers certain things and have to ask myself whether certain things are worth it or not. I am just bound and determined to not let this rule my life. I am finally taking control!!
