lindsaylou,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your injury. Your fatigue will likely improve as you learn to moderate the excitement/activity levels. Many of us have a similar problem where we shut down cognitively from such events. It may help for you to read the thread with a link about NeuroEndocrine disorders. You may have badly cycling hormones, etc.

The promotion may be your goal but for the current time, you need to focus on getting control of your environment. You may need to moderate stress levels in your life for quite some time. Many of us have to be very careful about stress/over-stimulation levels.

It will also help to get your brain friendly diet/nutrition going. Check the Vitamin Supplements thread for info.

You have a good chance at a full life if you just learn how to live with a concussed brain.

Hope you can learn these skills and disciplines.

My best to you.
