Poll How often do you have a setback?

I have an occassional setback such as a minor bump to the head (a month ago), or a discussion laden w/stress (yesterday).

The result- nasty pain, especially when laying down to bed that lasts- a day. A week?

Of course my goal is to avoid all mistakes & stress, but was wondering-

How often do you run into a problem w/your recovery?

Thanks-

It's been two months since I was concussed and I'm frustrated that I still have to take pain meds. At the time, I thought it was minor, but I'm having to increase my meds every five days or so because I become tolerant so quickly. The last thing I want to do is be on pain meds for life. Have you tried seeing a chiropractor? Getting your back and neck adjusted may help. Regarding avoiding stress, approach this as an opportunity to re-evaluate how you deal with it. Hey, I know where you're coming from and I literally feel your pain.

Unhappy

I haven't bumped my head again, but I feel changed still... it doesn't seem to be changing...
I am a happy person, but am tired of the different me. I never slurred my words, in fact, I was something of a wordsmith... Now I just feeel tired of all this, incredibly tired of it...

I have had a few setbacks....it varies for me....sometimes it is a few days, others it is a few weeks. I guess this is part of the struggle that we face with pcs....the unknown situations/events that can trigger a setback. I share in your frustration!!
