Thanks everyone
Prior to my concussions my neurologist put me on topirmate to prevent severe migraines and cluster headaches(3+ 1/2 years). Other than multi vitamins, vitamin and fish oil I don't take any meds. Initially he had me take a anti depressant to try and help me rest after the first concussion. At the closest dose it made me very jittery and I would only sleep a few hours. So I asked to come off it.
I don't drink alcohol or coffee and I've limited myself to one cup of tea or a soda a day. I'm a waitress. Full time. Not rocket science but I have to focus and it getsloud at times . Probably louder in my head than others if that makes sense.
My activity level isnt what it used to be. I used to hit the gym 5-6 days a week. Now I do light exercise at home. I have good days and bad days.....more good days thank God. I get confused at times. My short term memory is horrible I getheadaches that seem to be in the area I suffered the traumas. I can get very agitated, which isn't at all normal for me.
At first my Dr said probably 6 months to heal. Then maybe a year. Last time I asked him if I would ever be normal again he said there was still a good chance. He's one of the best drs in my area. I get there is no real timeline. I guess I just need to know how others cope and that I'm not crazy.
