Default goodness!

Oh my, you were unconscious for 10 minutes?

I understand your "dreamY" feeling. When my dizziness might be coming back or my symptorms flare up, I feel like I am in kind of a dream world too -- I don't know how to describe it, but it's akin to light headedness.

I really hope you get checked out by an MD.

Did you have a CT scan? Not that they show anything for PCS, but it would show if there were bleeding ((I think))

It sounds to me like you have PCS --

Check out the vitamnins etc stickie thread at the top. That is one proactive thing you can do to help yourself and then get rid of the stress in your life which means no screens, TV, reading, etc.

I will let others weigh in here.

Good luck

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.

Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,

Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.

Therapy I had: vestibular

3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.

9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.

Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
