I like your attitude about being happy it wasnt worse. I am starting to feel that way, and as an ICU nurse, I've seen so many debilitating brain injuries that i know i am incredibly lucky to have no major cognitive deficits, just physical symptoms. Mine include daily headaches (but well controlled with nortriptyline, fiorinal and occasionally percocet if the fiorinal doesnt work), dizziness, fatigue, occasional ringing in my ears, some visual changes, stimulation sensitivity, and a tremor in my extremities. I am 11 weeks out and although i have had some setbacks, i feel like this site has prepared me to expect them and understand that its the nature of the illness. So i dont get mad about it, i easily accept it and have gotten use to my limitations and work arounds in my life to make things easier. I go back to work in 3 weeks and know i will have a tough time initially, but i am happy that i will be able to give it a try and hope for the best. Im a big believer in trying to stay hopeful and positive but also realistic. Hopefully everyone here sees their symptoms improve over time and get back to feeling like themselves again.
