I'm 3 months PCS, and I can say that physically I have improved a fair amount. My visual disturbances have reduced gradually, and will hopefully continue to become less of a problem. Balance issues come and go, and tend to get worse when fatigued or hungry. Headaches were an issue early on, but that seemed to subside fairly quickly. The worst symptom that I still have is the brain fog. I just feel like I'm in a dream all of the time. My neurologist who has over 30 years of experience in dealing with TBI sufferers reassured me that this is very normal, and will gradually go away. The other thing that concerns me is my memory. Memory is a complex thing, and although I have no major deficits, things just don't feel right. Days seem much longer, and I am more sensitive to everything. Nutrition, Sleep, etc... I really believe that the brain has the same healing potential as any other part of the body, it is just such a complex process that it takes far longer. I think the psychological battle of fearing the worst is the most distressing thing about head injuries. I can't help but wonder how much of my symptoms are psychological, but only time will tell. There is hope for all of us, and patience seems to be the most essential thing. I wonder if symptoms will persist for a long time and then suddenly get better very rapidly, or if it will be very gradual the whole way through. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
