Forgetting what it feels like to be "normal" after PCS?
 

I posted a thread last week about my PCS doing alot better. it still is going good. ive been alot more active with no real symptoms except today when i really over did it and had minor fatigue but it went away with rest so i can feel good about that, i know when to relax now but before my fatigue would last the rest of the day now it just comes on for like 30-60 minutes and goes away and im fine

what is weird though is i still feel kind of different at certain points in the day its weird. i know it still maybe alittle PCS lingering but compared to where i was in my PCS feeling like i was gonna drop dead everyday to where i am at now im ALMOST 100% like at 95% so its safe to say ive beat the PCS and its awesome.

but at certain times during the day i feel weird. i remember before my PCS and concussion i also had certain times of the day where i felt off and im sure thats normal for everyone but after my PCS is gone and i get those out of it feelings or just feel different is it safe to go on as normal and not be so paranoid or do i really have to watch it for the next couple months since im doing well? i also realized since my sensitively to light has went away my eyes seem to be getting used to be back to normal sight. its like things look weird and i have to adjust more but im sure that will go away

confusing i know

The best answer to this question will be your personal experience. Rather than being paranoid, try to go on as normal and use hindsight to determine if you need to slow down.

There is a big difference between being aware and being paranoid.

You may need to learn how to make life and lifestyle choices that reflect your concussion history. In some areas, you may have to make some changes. For example, alcohol consumption will likely be problematic. By that I mean, getting a light buzz may cause a hang-over or worse.

But, this is not going to prevent you from pursuing a full life.

Try to give up on the paranoia and replace it with being aware.

You should be fine.

My best to you.
