Hello All!
I'm new to neurotalk but I'm looking for some support and potential guidance for my PCS symptoms. I had a "mild" TBI last July, with a loss of consciousness for over 30 min and 5 contusions.

I struggle with headaches, ranging from constant low-grade to full blown, nausea ridden migraines. They worsen with stress, over-stimulation, low caloric intake and fatigue.

I have noticed that post TBI, I need to eat more and at more regular intervals. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, my headaches will "come and go" sort of. I may have a week or two with only a low-grade headache maybe 2-3 days out of the week. This would be a good week. This is followed by a period of two-three weeks of constant lowgrade headaches and migraines at least 2x a week, possibly up to 5x. This cycle is ongoing. Does anyone else experience this?

In addition to my headaches, I struggle with fatigue, mood swings, low libido, difficulty concentrating, tangential thinking and other cognitive difficulties. I practice yoga regularly, eat very well, have tried acupuncture, craneosacral therapy, and talk therapy with a TBI specialist. I am thinking of turning down the medication route, because nothing else seems to be helping and I am feeling so rundown and frustrated. Any input on meds, side effects, headaches, recovery time, living with TBI in your early 20's, living in fear of reinjury etc. would be appreciated.

Sending love, light, and healing.
