Crystal,
Don't feel bad...I hit a plateau in October and it lasted until a few days ago. Now I've taken a couple steps forward in recovery and then today I took one step back. Like they say, it's a roller coaster. Your going to have a few good days or weeks and then the symptoms will come back and nip you in the butt. It's discouraging, but just know that it's a normal part of the recovery system.
Just be happy you had those few weeks. It should give you hope knowing that your brain still has the ability to function that way. You will have more days like that...and when they come, enjoy them.
New symptoms will pop up and disappear all the time. This happens to me frequently. This is also something that happens to all or most of us, don't worry too much about it.
Keep your "head" up.
Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
