are you taking any new medications or supplements? I know supplements are supposed to be all natural but they can cause allergic type reactions too. Fatigue, weakness and shakes and the like can be reactions to vitamins/supplements. I know I've had funny things happen after taking new supplements.
Any changes in your diet? I don't eat or drink dairy products and one time I was using soy milk in my shakes instead of almond milk and couldn't figure out why I ached all over. As soon as the soy milk was gone and I went back to almond milk the aches went away. I waited a couple months and tried it again and same thing happened. Organic/non gmo soy milk doesn't seem as bad but in general now I avoid soy milk.
Anxiety can also cause a LOT of symptoms and hopefully once it's under control you will feel much better.
Just some thoughts.

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
