He immediately send me to magnetic resonance, and told my injury is serious, at next day I got results and went to him again, so I have brain injury, i don't have hematoma but some 6x8mm big hyperintense subcortical thing from concussion in T2, i'm not a doctor and I've no idea how it sounds in English, he said 6x8mm is kinda big and serious and I'll need to sleep 2 weeks till next visit, so I did, my body healed very well, but head not i still got huge headache,

I went to him again. He gave me recipes for painkillers again checked coordination it was fine, I haven't had amnesia I haven't vomited either, I sometimes wake up in nights, He told you can start to walk again in room but don't go outside, its winter here like -25 every day, rest, sleep as much as you can, I think I have a whiplash to neck as well.

It hurts a lot, since I didn't made a progress in 1 month I went to another neurologist in capital city, since I couldn't hear with right ear since accident I needed to visit an ear doctor, he sent me to audiogram, After couple of weeks I could hear with my right ear again, after audiogram.

He said I've lost like 20-40decibels in right ear for rest of my life, I cant hear whispers and things like that, so I was done with ear doctor, so after several tests, we noticed I don't have balance at all, my body is shaking all the time, especially neck. Still shaking after month, my shoulders are shaking a lot.

I've lost concentration, very emotional, close to breakdown, easy to annoy me, I can still think, I did couple of university works on good grades, haven't been stupid, my eyes are fine now, my face wasn't injured at all, I was very sensitive at light for first 2 weeks, so I was done with ear doctor.

I head straight away to make a heart cardiogram, my blood pressure was high - 140 pulse 97, my heart is beating fast all the time, my vegetative nerves system has been destroyed, and it kinda feels my heart is to low, I'll have a stomach check in hospital at 9th February but I think its fine, after that I went to check my neck, I had computed tomography for neck - C1:C7, results - good, nothings wrong,

So its the muscles, I did blood tests, I don't have anemia, I've lost some blood but its nothing serious, I have lack of motor coordination, dizziness but rarely now. In first weeks I was waking up in nights a lot. Haven't happened lately, my head hurts in several places but skull isn't broken and damaged, My pupils have always been in same size,

I was really sleeping a lot in first 2 weeks, sometimes like 16h per day, now I don't, I'm sleeping like +-10h per night that's all, I can watch TV, Sit at laptop in bed, In first 3 weeks I felt great when I was in warm rooms, but felt terrible outside even for couple of minutes. Now I feel terrible in warm rooms and great outside at - 25, I'm a none smoker.

I tried alcohol a bit, I drank like 0.2l and was drunk. I kept taking couple of drinks, and then I partied till 6 o clock morning, I didn't needed much, I was able to speak and dance, I didn't had blackout, my brain didn't shut down. I woke up next day at 1 o clock and felt terrible. Don't try this at home. Won't drink again not even a bit, I got back power in arms, but neurologist told me not to work for next 3-4 months and I wont and haven't done anything physical.

1 of the doctors said my headache isn't caused from brain injury, so anyone I beg, with experience got some tips ? I cant live like this further, when it will stop ? I stopped taking painkillers for last 4 days. I took em today and don't feel very well. I won't take em anymore.

At last visit neurologist told me to try to get back in my life rhythm slowly to go out for small walks for fresh air, walk in home more and come back in a month for a visit. I got noises in head, ears, my brains are shaking, its way better then it was a month ago, I was like deadman but its still terrible at the moment.
