I also went back to work too soon and really wished i took the proper time to heal. I went back at the 4 month mark, lasted for 2 months until i literally couldnt get out of bed any more, and went back out for 3 more months. In january i plan to return, but my doctor has me going back slower, less hours, day shift only, and i agree i need to be smarter this time around with returning.
When i went back at 4 month mark, i only had 1 week without headaches. I know now that i need to have a sustained period of time where i am well, doing normal activities, working out, etc. So dont rush....because you dont want to ruin the ground you've covered in the past 5 months. Make sure u are feeling well first. Just like they would tell an athlete....no work until you are completely symptom free. Good luck!

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.
