Hello everyone,

35 days ago a block of iron from a roof fall on my head. I got a mild concussion but didn't lose my consciousness. I just felt really bad afterwards and thought that a good night sleep will make me recover completely, I was wrong..

Just a day after I started feeling the following symptoms:
- Headaches
- Head Pressure
- Some kind of fogginess in the brain I would even call it Derealization.. (the most terrifying symptom - never goes away).
- fatigue
- Great sensitivity to any noises especially subwoofer kinds of sound.
- ears popping.

I'm in the army now so I haven't been given enough rest ay start, but after it didn't go away I demanded to be sent to a hospital to do a CT scan. So I did. CT scan was perfectly fine and they have told me that the time will heal me sooner than I think.

I've rested for entire 20 days afterwards, even tried a week with no TV no computer no nothing just resting in a dark room.. helped a little but after I started stimulating everything was even worse.

6 days ago things have started to look better each day and i was optimistic.
Today I went to the doctor (first time I got out of the house for 14 days), had to drive for 2 hours (forth and back fro the doctor) and walk a little.. Now that I'm back home I feel awful again. The fogginess in the brain and derealization came back stronger like the start and I can't even sleep (When I rested I could even sleep 17 hours straight)..
I'm really frustrated and really scared I'm gonna lose my job at the army if I keep not coming..

There are even some new symptoms now as pressure in the sinuses, upper jaw and popping ears all the time when I yawn or swallow.

I'd love if some of you could give me some advices on how to deal with this, I think that all my problems might be caused due to ears issue from the concussion but I'm not sure.. sometimes it looks like sinus problem, then head, then ears..

I started to take vitamins right after the injury - B6 B12 C E Magnesium and avoided MSG and other unhealthy things to the brain.

I'm so frustrated, I just turned up 19 and I was a really healthy and happy guy, used to sleep like 6 hours a night and be awake and concentrated all day long, but now I can't concentrate for even a few minuted after 15 hours of sleep.

Please, I'd love any advice you could give me, and if anyone knows if the symptoms can be caused from the ears and not the brain (as they have changed).

Thanks In advance for you all and I wish we will ALL be healthy again as soon as possible.

Roy.

P.S. Sorry for my English, It's not the best but I think you will manage
