Rollercoster
 

My pcs is a roller coster I feel great for 3-5 days then get a rank headaches then the go away then some days I get that foggy thoughts and thinking and concentration here n there but I'm better than I was 2 months ago I couldn't do anything. I feel good 5 days a week or so.

But I still have some short term mem loss forget things my Mel pain is gone comPletly. But I still get headaches here and there and foggy concentration . I want to work out light weights and walking on treadmill and excercise bike is it too soon? My concuasion was in jan 2012 and second one was April 2012.

I drive sometimes 30 min or less at a time and I can walk far distances ok . Seems like I'm getting better but some days I get symtomps . I do cranial massage threapy once a week and I want to work out to lose weight.

Glad to hear the yoke is lifting. I wish I could have even one day of normal. Sounds like you are making progress to me.

I'm sure you are sick of hearing it but be patient!

Better to be patient and little out of shape than to be in shape and symptomatic.

Patience
 

For PCS the best thing is nothing. Let your brain heal, sometimes waiting is the hardest thing but neccesary. Take it slow and easy, pay attention to your body do not over do it.

It sounds to me like you're not ready for that kind of exercise yet, perhaps with the exception of short walks. If you start exercising to soon, you can really make your injury worse. It's far more important to give yourself as much rest as you can, and to only build exercise back in VERY gradually. I think weights and the exercise bike would be a bad idea at this point, but you could start taking some short walks and see how you feel. If your symptoms feel even slightly worse afterward, then you're not ready for exercise yet.

Thanks guys. On Monday I'm going to be a car salesmen I quit security fearing I'll get into a fight etc . I have a family of 5 depending on me so I'm going back to work I feel 80% but my family needs to eat so do I gotta work . This was a horrible experience and almost gave up but I'll still be carefull and take it easy :) being patient was worth it I thought I'd never feel better I thought I'd be a vegetable forever :( but progress is ok and I'm still optimistic of the future

Well day 2 gone working now day 3 tomm selling cara today I got a headache and that zombie like symtoms one of my workers drove too fast and erratically after I told him but too some symphony's linger all day :( this sucks . But I have to push on I have a family to provide for

I am sorry to hear that your symptoms are returning with the increase in work. I wish I had some advice, but I am so glad you are a car salesman now instead of security!

It is hard changing your chosen profession though to something completely different! I hope that you continue to rest when you are off work and that slowly the symptoms go away.

Just wanted to know I'm rooting for ya. :winky:

Thank you :)
