Default An update on my Post Concussion Syndrome. As always looking for advice on what to do.

Well I got my concusion on the new years 2012. Its been a year and 25 days. Im 20 years old and have recently stopped all drinking. I didnīt take that part as seriously as Iīm beggining to now. I wouldnt drink everynight but ,you know, Im 20 years old and when parties would be happening Iīd engage in drinking. Now, However, I refuse to drink anything until I feel completely better. Am i gonna feel completely better though? Am I gonna one day move past this injury and somewhat forget about it ever happening by these symptoms such as headaches and distortions or smell going away or are TBI injuries something that changes you forever and you always have to fight through it.

Right now I feel as if my brain is still healing. I sorta feel like its swollen or as if thereīs inflamtion going on still. The headaches have gotten better but I just wake up everyday and can feel the results from the concusion that happend a year ago.

Is it that Iīm not taking care of mytself enough. Is the way to heal this really just rest, Is there no treatment able to be done? Iīve been stressed everynow and then through the road to recovery over a breakup with my first love. Is it stress thatīs prolonging the recovery. Is that whatīs going on? Is the recovery becoming Prolonged? My loss or rather distortion of smell is one thing that really messes with me because I wake up everymorning with this strange unpleasant oder. My back keeps cracking all the time, about 25 times a day, its really strange. Might that have something to do with it?

Using the computer or watching tv seems to make a mild sence of headpains come. Sometimes i feel this sence of mild head shocks or brainshocks I dont know how to describe it. Itīs like things in my brain are working like stuffs going on. Will I ever feel normal again or Is TBI with bleeding in the brain going to be a little like loosing a arm. Iīm gonna have to learn to live with these permanent changes. Are these head pains going to go away? Will my smell come back?

Thank you
