Default New user, First Concussion

Good Afternoon Everyone:

Last Wednesday I hit my head on a heating vent in my home. After going to my doctor that afternoon, he directed me to the ER, where they did a CAT Scan. Fortunately, they didn't find anything. However, after experiencing prolonged blurred vision, dizziness, and nausea I returned to my doctor on Friday. He confirmed that I did have a concussion. Since then, I've been experiencing the aforementioned symptoms, as well as fogginess, sadness, confusion, and an inability to think clearly. I've been at home, on bed rest since Saturday (which is starting to drive me crazy). I'm glad to have found this site, because through this experience I have felt somewhat alone, unable to explain exactly what I'm feeling. And the people around me are unable to relate/understand. Does anyone have any general advice? How long do the extreme symptoms last? Are there any resources that you're aware of that can help me? Thank you.
