Chrysse,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You are at a good place.

Your ER visits and CT's should give you confidence. You are very early in your recovery. The CT and 2 days or so is an excellent time to show and damage that is slow developing. If no damage shows now, you should be OK. UNLESS,

If you have any numbness on one side of your body, slur your words, have unequal pupils, can not smile evenly, or an excruciating head ache, etc, get to an ER immediately. This is a very rare circumstance so do not try to over analyze every little pain or twitch.

Right now, you need quiet rest while abstaining from bad food, caffeine, MSG, artificial sweeteners, etc. Read the Vitamins thread in the stickies at the top. It has some helpful links. It will help to ice your neck, especially your upper neck. Do this as often as possible. 15 minutes on, 30 minutes off. It should help somewhat with your head aches.

Please tell us more about yourself and your struggles. There are lots of helpful people here.

My best to you.
