Honestly, it will get better. I had issues similar to that for first 6 months. I'm now at month 7 and have been feeling amazing. I spent last friday in a house with 15 people for my roommates birthday party....everyone was talking, laughing, yelling, multiple small conversations, and a football game on the TV. It wasnt until we were about to leave that i looked at her and said, "this is the first time i've been in a social environment like this and nothing bothered me!". Its tuesday now, and i still feel amazing. Hope this lets you know that you will get better. Just be patient, listen to your body, and try to avoid situations you cant control the environment. I sadly missed a friends wedding because i knew it would be too much for me....and other important occasions. Feeling as well as i do now, makes me know my little sacrifices were worth it. Good luck and hang in there!

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.

Thanks Nightnurse!! I too had to miss a friends wedding. It's tough. I know I'm gaining on my PCS. I just didn't realize how hard a crowd really can be. It's good to have an eye opener. I know that when I go back to the doctors I can explain what happened. I'm anxious to get back to work but I'm also very afraid of all the stimulia. My job in Cardiology is crazy hectic busy and my head isn't fond of that..lol I know if I push too hard my head would let me know. I will try to brush off all the stress and anxiety over money and jobs at this point. What else can I do??? Tomorrow we have a road race that comes by my house. Over ten thousand people jogging bye. I'm curious to see how my head handles that one... lol
