I hope you listen!
Hello and welcome to Neurotalk
Everyone here gave you really good words to live by, and I hope you heed it and take recovery seriously. You only have one brain and you can help it along if you take the strength to do so.
Check out the vitamin stickie at the top. Those vitamins and supplements will help you along with good nutrition -- fruits, veggies, and limit or cut out msg.
Alcohol and brain healing are really just opposites. At this point in my recovery, I can tolerate a little alcohol, but not much and I don't want to set myself back or stay stuck and never go forward. I don't want to relapse either. If you read through these threads, you'll find that people can and do relapse from OVERdoing thing or stress....you name it.
Recovery, for me, meant life changes too. I had to leave my job for a time to let my brain heal. You might not be able to do that, but you can give your brain rest. It needs that, and lots of it, to heal too.
Here's wishing you well in recovery.
Sincerely,
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.
