Hi Skatemom
Welcome to this forum. It has been so, so helpful for me.
First, check out the vitamin thread stickie at the top. There are vitamins and supplements that can help heal your brain from the inside.
Hopefully you can get some real rest into your day. I know that's hard with young children. Do you have any daycare or friends who can watch them?
You really need a lot of brain rest to get better and that means doing not much and sleeping, just resting.
Can you limit or not watch TV, no computer screens, texting, stimulation like that is really hard for your healing brain.
I wll let others weigh in here.
pm

[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.
