Lynlee,

Thanks for your information. Doesn't the fatigue ever get better? I will never be able to go back to work if it continues like this. I am (was) a third grade teacher until this concussion happened and turned my world upside-down.

Unfortunately, the doctors really don't know how to help you - except to give you pills, and I get sick from most of them.

I have already learned to try to avoid noisy, crowded places. They make me sick. But it is very disheartening to think that I won't get my life back.... Although I guess that if that is true, I will have to learn to develop and adjust to a new kind of life.

It just would be helpful to know whether this will get better or not. My cranial sacral physical therapist believes that we can all heal ourselves. We just have to take time to listen to our bodies.

There is a book that he recommended that I am reading. It is called
"The Art of Effortless Living" by Ingrid Bacci. She was a successful professional who became very ill. She went to all the best specialists. No one could help her. She left her marriage, her career and everything else that she had, and she eventaully healed herself. The book is about how she did it.

It doesn't mean that everyone can succeed, but, who Knows? Maybe they can. My physical therapist has taken workshops given by her, and he says that she is a wonderful person who has helped many people heal....
