Hi,

I had about 6 months of fainting/convulsions which my neurologist explained as a phenomenon that wasn't really understood but often resolves after a few months.

I am happy to say that I have not fainted for 2 months now, which I am happy with as it was every week or every other week before. I am now on Gabapentin too and it has reduced my headaches and dizzyness, Elavil has helped with sleeping.

I am about 14 months PCS and am happy to say that my life is improving every week. I have more energy, and feel like the fog has lifted. I gave myself a lot of rest, took it easy and took Mark's advice to "accept" that things are different and that this was ok.

Rest and quiet is so important and I only wish I had been a little more careful and gentle with myself a year ago and not pushed it and gone back to work. Live simply, let yourself heal and I wish you all the best.
