I def experienced this in the first 8 months of my injury, but its been much better the past 3 months. It usually came on with the dizziness.
Interesting that you got a hit in the head too. I just hit my head last week on a huge metal bar in my OR setting. Its called a C-arm, part of fluoroscopy equipment to take live x-ray during procedures. its a moveable part of the equipment to look at different angles, and my back was turned for a second and i didnt realize the doctor changed the angle, so when i turned back around, i smacked the left side of my head hard off of it. I immediately got a headache, but no dizziness. I was in the middle of a case, so i couldnt leave my patient. A couple hours later, i got a little bit foggy and went home and took the next day off to rest and make sure it didnt progress into something worse. I was very fortunate that i woke up feeling great the next day and it didnt cause an issue. I have been feeling wonderful for the past 3-4 months and back to my old self with barely any symptoms, so i was very nervous i was going to have a setback with the hit to the head. Thank god!!!

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.
