Lui I'm so sorry to hear you've had this happen!! I hit my head really hard in the fridge today. Must be a day for injuries! I don't think anyone will be able to tell you whether this will set you back or not. Time will tell. Just try not to get anxious or worried about it because we all know that that WILL make you worse.
Not knowing how hard you fell down the stairs, I should mention that if you have any new or extreme symptoms come up or anything you are at all concerned about you should go to the emergency. Hitting your head a second time while still recovering from the first one isn't good.
Hope you feel better soon.

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!
