Hi guys,

It's been awhile since I've been in touch. I have my computer back. I'm going on eight months since my injury. Last month I had three great weeks. Very minimal headaches and I was able to workout again. I was so siked. I had visions of going back to work. Thought I was finally beating this and was healed. I did have awful whooshing sounds at night so I knew I was tired but very minimal headaches so I thought, ok I guess I can live with that.

I told my docs I was feeling great. My therapist thought me going back to work to get some exposure was a good idea, my nuerologist said he wasn't convinced yet and I would see him 02/07. Well a week later I woke up tired, exhausted, headache, foggyness, depressed. The whole nine yards. I had gone to a few appts with my husband and found the flourescent lights kill me.

When I went back to my therapist and explained what's been going on he said, "your not ready to go back". Well since hearing this I've been depressed. My thoughts aren't good. My husband is scared he said because I've been taking extreme measures when dealing with something that bothers me. I'm so frustrated I just want to blow up literally.

So now I'm more scared than ever. I dont know how many times I can go up and get hopeful only to crash and burn again.

I have been able to take walks and they seem to help calm me. So I've been doing alot of it. I find my headaches calm down when I calm down. I have to say you can only walk so much though. lol

I have a new symptom along with the whooshing sound I have crackling sounds in my head. Like someone is crinkling paper in my head and occasional ear ringing. Is something else going on? should I be concerned or is this just another part of this horrible injury?

I had a frontal injury. 50lb door sharp side hit me in the right side of my forehead near my temple.
