Thank you for your story. I appreciated reading it and you sharing. I completely understand how you are feeling. Especially the part about wanting to do things but not wanting to risk injury - I badly want to surf and play hockey but I realize it may never happen again anytime soon - hoping for fall but who knows - I was hoping for fall last year too. I too have a life revolving around sport (not my main job) but it's a big part of who I am so losing it over the past 15 months has been difficult. See my post "I'm over it" to learn more about my story.

I too have tried many different things - natural medicine, accupuncture and found nothing helps but time. Someone on this site pointed me to the book Brainlash by Gail Denton - reading it helped.

For me my days now consist of big headaches, light headedness and some nausea depending on the day. Thankfully my cognitive abilities have returned for the most part. I'm running, exercising and doing anything that doesn't risk hitting my head. I feel crap regardless of whether I exercise or not so I'm just dealing with it. Hopefully for me and for you time will be what you need.

I've learned you can't put a time on recovery. Just gotta live day by day and take the good things.

By the way, skeleton is nuts! I hit my head snowboarding and now realize the jump I did that injured me was nuts too - at the time though, I didn't think I was really taking a risk. A helmet saved me.

Best of luck to you.
