I had the TBI a bit over 2 years ago. I guess anything goes when your brain is screwed up?
Anyone else have the diziness return after a long time without it? Maybe higher heat and/or humidity in August? Thanks for insights. |

Yes, absolutely. In fact, I can go for months without a symptom, to only have it come back (with a punch). It can be very frustrating, but I think that I have finally conceded to that fact that the only way to "deal" with PCS is to manage the symptoms. Can't take it on as a whole, one symptom at a time...hope you are feeling better!!

July 21, 2010, one month after starting my new job I sustained a concussion after standing up quickly from a sqatting position and subsequently being impaled by the corner of a metal filing cabinet in to the left side of my skull. Dx. Post Concussive Syndrome. Female, 45 years young . Mom of 3 boys (22,19,10)..Registered Nurse 16 years . Symptoms: Vertigo, difficulty concentrating, unable to multitask, fatigue, severe transient headaches..severity and location change frequently, anxiety, PTSD, tinnitus, "electrical like sensations" across the top of my head, "hot flashes", numbness and coolness to hands (worsens in A/C), very poor recall ability, processing and comprehension, difficulty finding words and completing thoughts, short term memory is awful. ~I will never give up on myself~ ~I run because I can. When I get tired, I remember those who can't run, what they'd give to have this simple gift I take for granted, and I run harder for them...I know they would do the same for me <3 |

I don't know about a full year, but I had a very bad relapse after I had been functioning pretty close to normal for 3 months. That was one year ago, and I'm still in far worse shape than I was even 2 months after my initial injury (but improving). I think it's a good idea to be prepared to have symptoms resurface if we overtax ourselves, even if they've been in remission for a long time.

Thanks for the encouragement.
Frustrating that no one knows how to heal this. Or that someone does, but I don't know what kind of doctor or alternative medicine-person it is, and how much $ they want for the answer. It might be an inner ear issue. Maybe it is getting worse before more healing occurs. Guess I'll wait for healing or slow death (but eternal life).
