Everytime someone says this to me, i just want to scream at them! Yes, i may look better without crazy swelling in my face and bruises 4 months later.....but inside, im a mess. I have my good and bad days. And no, im not better....i have a year of this nonsense at least before i feel like myself again. So i stick with the polite, "getting there". But in reality i want to explain every odd symptom i experience, every odd emotional turmoil and social anxiety i suddenly have, and the unpredictable headaches, dizzy spells and overwhelming fatigue that comes on at the most inopportune times. My neurologist said it best...."your biggest obstacle is that on the outside you look good, but no one can possible understand how you feel on the inside with your recovering brain." *sigh*
