Just wanted to celebrate with people who understand what it means to totally lose touch with one's inner self.
It's been over a year since my head injury... and I felt (for lack of a better way to put it) human today!!  I've been somewhat functional on the outside for a couple of months now, but it's so nice to have a small feeling of functionality on the inside as well! Sorry for gushing all over my keyboard, but I mentioned this to a close friend or two and they're like - Ok. Nice! So I just had to let my excitement spill out where it would be understood! They need a little emoticon that jumps up and down with joy!!!

katie,
Be careful jumping up and down for joy. It is an easy way to end your good day even if the only jumping is being done by the emoticon. LOL Life with PCS can be soooo tenuous. Glad you hear you had a good day.

You go girl! Keep believing that each day will bring a better day! Even if it is for one day, it is soooo nice to have that day! I had one week with no headaches the last week of july, and thats the last time i've had a completely pain free day....but i believe every day it will happen again, and stay that way!

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. |

This is a really wonderful and hopeful post. Congratulations on becoming ever more functional on the outside, and now from the inside out. Keep up the good work!

That is great!!!!!! It gives me hope that I will get better!!! I had four days without a headache. I was so excited. I even dared to think that I was getting past this... Unfortunately it came back. It's only been four months so I know I have to have patience!!! I hope you have many more good days ahead!!!
