Thank you all for your replies!
I do not have insurance which is why going to the ER/Regular Dr. so much worries me. They charge quite the penny, and all i'm told is that it takes time, or I get diagnosed with 'headaches' as the person with the most above this one states.

My advise to you, smiley, is to get as much rest as possible. I don't know how you manage to work, I get tired/stressed/angry so easily with the simplest of tasks. It's best you give your brain the proper care. Aside from that I really don't know what else you can do.

I recently went to the doctor and he said that vitamins, such as fish oil, are good to take as well as eating a lot of fruit. He also mentioned that working out (lightly) can help with my remaining headaches. I've literally been in bed for three months so I am very weak, and not in the shape I was before this happened. I am going to give his advice a shot and if it does not work, back to the doctor I go. Best of luck to you!

And thank you again to everyone who replied

smi1ey,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your experience with doctors and imaging is not unusual. There is very little they can do to help you. Read my thread on Vitamins and Supplements. It will give you nutritional info including what to avoid.

You need quiet rest. That means minimal stimulation and cognitive stress. You do not need to be sleeping. Gentle walks will help keep blood flowing.

Please tell us more about yourself. Age, gender, normal daily activities, family life and responsibilities, etc. There are many daily activities that may be pushing your brain too much.

Have you tried icing your head and neck ? Many head aches are related to upper neck injuries that cause inflammation and muscle spasms. Icing can help.

I am 46 yrs old, married. Hit head in 9/12.

I usually work about 32 hrs a week at a retail job in the evenings (as it worked when attending college to finish working on my bachelor's degree). There is a lot of bending, lifting, reaching, walking, etc. Since I've returned, about 3 wks now, am glad to be back but some days it is all I can to to concentrate on my tasks. But make it through the shift.

Resting and quiet do help. My husband is still trying to grasp the quiet part, but has been a great asset to me since hitting my head.

I had already been taking fish oil and have added b12. I will try to find your vitamins and supplements to read. I believe you also suggested tumeric. Was wondering how that might help with the brain healing.

I do ice my neck and head since the chiropractor recommended it. He has helped too as my C1 was out and scull pushed back (now returned to proper place) as he practices acupressure.

Thanks again for the suggestions!

If you haven't already checked with the billing office about reducing your bill do to no insurance, you might. I have insurance, but it isn't the greatest. After calling the billing dept. for my ER bill they lowered it. Just a thought and thank you for the reply!
