I'm another long-termer. My concussion was two years ago this month. My best recovery happened about 18 months after my concussion when I learned and took time to implement concerted nutrition, exercise, and other strategies to strengthen my brain. At nine months I was still a pretty big mess.
And, at two years post-concussion, I still don't feel I'm back to 100% of the old me. I would put myself at about 90% (though 90% may be the new 100%).
I think you still may have a long ways to go, and there is still plenty of room for improvement. Don't feel that you are trapped as you are now forever.
