Hit my head off the metal corner of my car door very hard, drove for 30 minutes and started getting dizzy. I then pulled over and lost consciousness and woke up with four people around me, went to hospital via ambulance and needed CT scan due to bradycardia.

Symptoms started coming and going/reducing 3 to 4 months after accident, but I thought I was nearly better at Christmas before getting worse than ever in January/February.

I am now working/driving and leading a full life with the help of medication and pacing myself as I get better. You have plenty more ups and downs ahead of you but you will get there.

Keep a diary to log symptoms/triggers/positives/negatives/fatigue levels/sleep pattern/good and bad days. This will help you see what works and will also help you record your progress. Good luck!
