Doing nothing
Yep, that's they way to heal
don't do too much --no screens, listen to audio books, radio, do something wiht your hands, watch the birds, the sky, build a nest...you get the idea, but just don't stress out.
Your brain needs rest.
read the vitamin stickie at the top. Your brain needs really good nutrition now too.
And, in case you missed it, there is no timeline, really for getting better. It takes the time that it takes because it does.
No doctor can really tell you otherwise....and if they do....they really don't know.
All for now

[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.
