I believe in getting better
Hi Norma
I do believe and know I am getting better. I am so hesitant now to use the R word (recovered) because I have been burned by thinking I was recovered only to find out, I was not and I did too much and dizziness, sound and light sensitivity came back.
That said, I agree with DeFayesmom, in that we can live rich, full lives after more symptoms resolve. Somethings from PCS are likely going to stay with me forever, but I am not sure what that might be.
Keep on educating yourself, and listen to your body to find what triggers the stress that brings on symptoms and like Mark said, find ways to work around those things or adapt to it.
Take care,
poetrymom

[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.
