First i must say, i really do enjoy reading your posts! You are very analytical, as am I, but you have very good descriptions for everything. I also know we are at the same time frame PCS. I went back to work for 12 hour night shifts at week 3 (very stupid, lasted a week) then went back again at week 14 and lasted till just last week. So clearly, you are way smarter and patient than I am and taking your recovery very slow and extremely restful which is exactly what our docs tell us to do. Sounds like you know your body very very well and know your limits. I think its great you are doing a test draft to see how you feel afterwards. Very wise move. And your plan on returning sounds like a nice easy approach. I would definetly agree with waiting until you are close to 90% symptom free and definetly wait until you are headache free for a few weeks. I was headache free for 1 whole week before returning to work and they returned with a vengeance and now i havent had more than an hour without some type of head pain. Good luck on your plan and keep us updated as to how it goes!!!

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
