wakey,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles. Been there, done that back in 1965.

You sound like you definitely have PCS.

You have provided very little information so I am asking all of these questions.

What is your prior history of concussions?

Do you play any contact sports where you may have been dinged but not remember the head ding?

Has your doctor recommended anything besides rest to help you recover?

Have you had any diagnostics done to check out your neck? Many PCS symptoms are related to unresolved neck injuries.

What is your diet like? Do you consume caffeine, alcohol, foods with MSG, or any other chemicals/drugs that may alter brain chemistry?

Do you take any nutritional supplements?

What do you do to fill your day?
Work?
Study?
Play video games?
Listen to music, what kind?
Watch TV, what kind?
Computer/online?

PCS can be a slow drawn out recovery. Stress is the worst thing to have while recovering.

Check out and download the TBI Survival Guide at www.tbiguide.com

You may want to watch John Byle's YouTube series called "You Look Great" : Inside a TBI. There are 6 episodes to watch. It takes about an hour in total.

We're here for you. You have found a place where everybody understands your struggles.

My best to you.
