relationships and PCS
Hello T,
I hope your recovery will be smoother if the person you were with doesn't understand how what you are going through. This is a journey and thank God for this board to help us understand this journey better.
I am blessed. My husband took care of his folks. His dad died due to complications from alzheimers disease back in the 90s. Because of that experience, my husband does understand me and this PCS ordeal, and has been supportive and patient. That said, I know it's stressful for him too not having me be as I was before the accident. But, I am working toward becoming a more patient person and more receptive too.
Here's to peace and your recovery T.
Sincerly,
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.
