My symptoms are not going away.. STILL. I'm having stupid memory problems, an awful headache... ironically, i CANT sleep... and I am just crying, all the time. The doctor put me on tylenol with codeine. Which helps the headache, but I feel nauseated.. like all the time.
I've been reading about PCS, and i'm wondering how long it needs to be before I might have PCS? My Dad just keeps following me around asking "what's wrong with me".
Can anyone help me?

Hi there. About a month ago I sustained a concussion and a broken nose after an assault. My face was slammed into the ground by force multiple times. Later I was diagnosed with PCS. I am such a *****. The fact that you are just crying is a good thing. Its normal from what I understand. I am still getting used to what PCS is and what it means. Its really strange.
