I would say i consider myself recovered at this point. I just hit 1 year. But i am a very Type A personality and did a lot of pushing through in the beginning which set me back multiple times. The thing is....we all test our limits and when we have energy suddenly, we go and try and run as many errands as we can and do as much as we can....and then we pay for it for weeks. Even if you get these bursts of energy....rest!!!!
Accepting our limitations and following through on good nutrition and rest are the best pieces of advice i can give you. Accepting is the big part because its hard to look at ourselves different than how we were before our TBIs. But once you accept that this is the new you, its easier to follow through with treating our bodies kindly and giving it the rest it needs to heal. Good luck to you!

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.
