You asked if they all went away at the same time? More or less but my physical symptoms seemed to linger longer than cognitive symptoms.
This is how I felt the last 3-4 days. I felt better for a few days in a row and noticed it but didn't want to push anything. I up and decided to ditch the Elavil. Why should I need a drug to be better? I stopped cold turkey.
About a day and a half later I felt my once permanent headache move from the top of my head down to the base of my skull. Later that night I felt my arm get weak, shaky and cold. I could barely lift my arm, let alone pick up a pencil. I alerted my family I may need to go to the ER, because then "it" moved to my upper arm and down my body into my left leg. Cold, shakey, weak, etc. This went on for about 20 minutes and then it was done. After that I was fine. I was better, I felt majorly healed.
Sounds weird I know. I was hesitant to post it because I don't know if it's all related. Who knows, maybe I was having a stroke. : ) I doubt it but who knows what that was.
Nonetheless, that's what happened!
I hope it helps. I know everyone is different so I didn't post that earlier but some of you seem to be curious.
In my opinion, the graduated exercise and extra aspirin I was taking (low dose - I take it for a blood clotting disorder that is genetic but i've never had a clot or any sign of trouble - they gave it to me after a DNA scan) simply helped my circulation regain it's pre-concussion state. I was clearly not getting enough blood in my brain when the symptoms were so bad. I think those two things and TIME (you cannot discount the simple fact that it was 4 months post injury) healed me.
Best of luck to you.
