It was weird, I was playing video games with a friend, had this short stabbing pain in my head, then the symptoms just....lifted. Had a few relapses, mostly due to my smoking pot and getting anxiety related to that. I wouldnt suggest smoking pot except in very very very small doses (its supposed to be helpful, but only right after the injury...I thought i had waited long enough after the injury to try, but with bad results) and I wouldnt suggest anything illegal to anyone, but for people where its legal, a little dab will do yah, and can be helpful.

I still get headaches, seems to be related to the neck injury, and high blood pressure, highest was 137/83, nothing to get TOO worried about, my health and diet were horrible before the accident.

I also have had some symptoms flare up due to the fact that I quit smoking ciggarettes, drinking caffiene, eating fast food, drinking alcohol, and consuming salt all on the same day about 20 days ago. Thats quite a shock to anyones body, and my descision to "get healthy" I guess was at an in-opportune time...

But altogether im leaps and bounds past were I was...im sure alot of people dont come in here and give updates saying theyre better...they just sorta disapear.

But keep yer heads up everyone...it will get better.
