There is no need for you to sit at home if you can learn some skills for living with those symptoms that do not recover.

I know plenty of people with far worse symptoms than we have who still live their lives. It may be a different life but it is a life worth living.
wow I caime along way since my fall how life changed, this year was one of my worst years of my life almost 2010 was the worst thats when I lost my son. This year was health wize awful.

well im about 85% now I get a day of couple hours to a hour of foggyness but no headaches since sept 2012. My memory is little off sometimes but I feel overall great my neurologist said in November that I will heal and be ok and that my 15 or so boxing fights and 3 mma wont give me a deadly brain damage I thought id have but I do take care of myself. I want to lose some weight i gained from the meds

I gained like 30-35 pounds on the meds, all you have to do is tuff it out and take care of yourself take omeg fish oild vitamins b10 and 12 etc etc rest rest rest no excersise no stress.

this you tube video i fell asleep too all year it helped me relax, I want to medatatt and do yoga soon. I know I will have memory problems and some foggyness but im happy im alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TifX6...qAbGNCE7vPPlug

I work out and excerise but i avoid high impact running i jus do light 5-10 min jogs.

man last year I was severly depressed with my PCS i couldnt walk talk I couldnt do anthing but lie in bed I lost my income I lost my job my future plans. I sold my car my tvs my steroes everything of value to servive n pay bills. I lost everything and my wife n family at that time. I though about ending it I was severly depressed with PCS and post tramadic stress from the death of my son in 2010.

well I rode out the storm worked it out with my wife, got my family back, going back to tech school at age 30 to be a auto mechanic and dealing with my left over PCS symtomps which I manage to live with.'

My advice is just tough it out, least your alive and not have a terminal illness that you cant survive. Learn more and read more learn how to help yourself get family n friends to learn about your condition, you may seem fine outside but inside your all messed up I know how that feels people doubt you cause you seem ok but your not.

Thanks for hearing my story, I still have Post tramadic stress disorder and seeking help, I suggest you try Aqua Healing look it up i taken it for 6 months man it felt good

Thanks man. I am so proud of you. You have come a long way. Good for you. Your a great example to all of us trying to figure out how to live in this condition. So nice to hear of such wonderful progress. So sorry about your son. What a great attitude, you have managed to pull through against great adversity. Nice job.

Thanks Brian, Man it was horrible trying to overcome PCS, but I learned to live with my problems of memory n foggyness etc, once you harness the symtomps and learn to adjust your lifestyle. Haveing a TBI or PCS is a life changer takes awhile to adjust to it lets face it our lives will never be the same.

Nor will our way of living it from now one, somebody said to me that the life you knew before is gone and its time to adjust to your new life. for those of you who are in the same boat and recovering please take time to recover dont rsh it your body needs time, ( i rushed it and got worse and worse) dont do anything rational just rest take your vitmins and ask for advice on this site I thank you all for all your advice and help, the storm clouds and rain always go away it never lats
