Hi Peter,
My math may be off but you are saying you are almost 4 months since your accident and I'm 5 1/2 months since mine. Sorry for the nit picking!
I have never had 3 or 4 good days in a row. I think I had 2 once tops. More like 3 or 4 good hours! My headaches are the first thing improving. They are not as strong. I have had to take less medication for them. I'm sure that's a good, healing sign.
I have had the ringing in my ears since the accident. I'm not exactly sure when I first noticed it though. I was pretty out of it the first couple months.
My biggest complaint is the dizziness and blurred vision because I cannot walk without getting worse. Makes it hard to do anything. Once I can get that figured out (ENT or neuro-ophthalmologist) then I will begin to feel on the road to recovery.
I am hoping for a complete recovery but I might have to settle for accepting a new normal and moving forward. Only time will tell. I'm not worrying about it now because worrying will not help and the brain is trying to heal itself I just have to let it and wait!
I am certainly looking forward to a return to work and also to running, although from what I've read here running may be the hardest one to get back to. I do not think I will be able to do either for at least another 4-6 months judging by my recovery to date and advise from my neuro psych.
You are a lot younger than me though and I'm sure you will have far better success! I hope today is another good day for you. I'm not so lucky today but will be taking it easy.

And yes I can completyely agree, 3 or 4 good days in a row followed by a bad day and it seems like im back to square 1. But Im having less bad days and when I have a bad day the severity is not as bad. I didnt notice my symptoms until about 4 weeks after my accident. What has your experience been like? do you have ringing in your ears. I have found it odd that I only have experienced it the last few days?
Are you holding out hope for a complete recovery? How far off do you think you are??
