Return of dizziness, headaches and extreme fatigue.
Yikes...just got back from a little walk with my girl and kids. I got dizzy almost soon as we stepped outside. We had to take quite a few sitting breaks. My head also started pounding about halfway through the walk. By the time we got back home (10-15 minutes ago), I was BEAT tired. I've been laying here since we got back, trying to shake the tiredness but it won't go away and I can't fall asleep lol.
I know these are common symptoms but I haven't experienced these symptoms in months. So, I figured it was worth writing home about.
So, for those of you that suffer from dizziness, headaches and extreme fatigue...I know how you feel now!!!

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.
