kayseeah,

The condition of your car has nothing to do with your concussion. Unless you are experiencing severe head aches and serious cognitive difficulties, an MRI is a waste of money. They do not have the resolution to show the minute damage done in a concussion. If you had a brain bleed, your symptoms would be very severe.

If all of a sudden, you have an extreme head ache or serious confusion, go to the ER.

If you are serious about getting an image done, a CT scan would be appropriate. It is quick, a lot cheaper, and will show if there is a bleed. If an MRI is your demand, you will probably do best with an MRI/MRA. This shows the vasculature in your head. A plain MRI will not show blood vessels very well.

With PCS, you treat the individual symptoms, not the Syndrome.

The kind of exercise you probably want to do to be in shape for your wedding is probably out of the question. Slow weight training will probably help you maintain muscle tone. Unfortunately, women seem to think that loose muscle is flab or fat. No, it is just relaxed muscle.

Slow weight training is a form of weight training where you use a weight that is a bit heavier that a rep weight. You lift/move the weight/resistance slowly through the range of motion. The slow movement puts more intensity on the muscles without creating an aerobic effort. If you can do the slow weight training without causing your pulse and BP to rise, you will likely be OK.

My honest recommendation would be to just focus on fitting your wedding dress. Do the minimums to fit the dress and focus on recovery. It will be better to be able to enjoy your wedding because you do not have a head ache than to look great but feel miserable.

The stress of the last few months before a wedding will be tough enough on your brain. You don't need to add to the stress level. Pushing things may end up causing you to experience the shortness of temper that is common to PCS. Bridezilla with PCS will not be a good memory.

My best to you.
