Sorry to hear about all your hits to the head. But you are on the right road getting your eyes checked and seeing a neurologist. An MRI will be just a confirmation that you dont have a bleed like Mark said....most people have perfectly normal MRIs and CT scans with TBI and PCS.
Sadly, this is our world now....anxiety, headaches, dizziness, feeling off, exhausted, seeing spots, photophobia, etc. What we feel is very very real for us....but no one else knows what we are experiencing. Its a lonely, scary feeling for all of us.
Rest and Time...and patience. Thats what your neurologist will tell you. And hopefully find meds to help with your headaches as our headaches are very unique and everyone responds differently. Good luck to you!!
By the way....im from Mass too....brockton. I used to work at a NeuroSurgery ICU at Brigham and Womens....the neurologists there are great!

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.
