Hi Melissa,

It is still quite early. Even though 6 weeks feels like such a long time when you're suffering like this, in terms of recovery from brain injury, it is not that long.

Most people with post-concussion syndrome have clear CT scans and MRIs. It doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with you; it means that those tests are not nearly sensitive enough to pick up on microscopic damage such as axonal shearing.

Allow yourself plenty of rest, especially now that you are in between semesters. It's even worth thinking about taking medical leave from school for a semester. Your body need lots of rest, care, and time to properly heal. Avoid highly stimulating environments and activities, take frequent breaks throughout the day, and try to eat a healthy diet. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and artificial food additives.

Your body and brain are not going to tolerate your normal level of activity. You'll have to find ways of breaking up your day and limiting your activity level for the foreseeable future. For awhile at least, you'll need to work on adjusting to a new "normal" and being very patient with yourself.

If you have more specific questions along the way, there are many knowledgeable people on this forum who can likely answer them.

Hang in there and take care of yourself.
