Better now
 
I just wanted to say 2 years and 4 months after my injury I am completely better.

I am off all medications now which helped me greatly through the suffering of PCS, but they have served their purpose. I have no symptoms whatsoever.

Like many here, I wondered if I would ever get better, but eventually for the vast majority you do - it just takes a long time for some, so be kind to yourself, rest, and try to be patient.

Take care and I hope you get better soon.

So awesome to hear this .. I had a real time machine day yesterday where I felt like I went backwards 6 months.. I was losing hope and giving into the feel sorry
For myself bs... I try not to think about stuff I Used to do.. But maybe one day it will come together

Yup, I made it back too. I am really close to baseline now (maybe 90-95%…a lot of the time I don't even think about concussions or PCS symptoms). It has taken almost four years to get this far. For some, that might seem a depressingly long time, but for me? I feel extremely grateful. I can honestly say that life is as good as it was before - in some ways it's better.

Thanks for sharing your excellent news.

I had tinnitus (moderate) and yes it did get better. Mostly it just resolved after a year and half or so - maybe a bit longer. I probably still have a bit of residual tinnitus but I rarely notice it.

Congratulations and thanks for letting us know!

I'm curious, did you ever think you had practically recovered only to relapse a couple of weeks later? (Something I'm going through right now (8 months)).

SuperElectric 04-05-2015 04:55 PM

That's great news, I think it's so important to hear that you can and probably will recover from this even after over a year. Certainly gives people like me hope! I sometimes suspect folk on this forum get better and disappear off the radar.

RidingRollerCoaster 04-09-2015 05:51 PM

Thank you! This gives me hope that I definitely need. I am so happy for you. Can you two tell us what helped you heal along the way? That would be helpful to those of us still going.

Take care.
