Thumbs up Better Days Are Ahead!!!!

I just want to let the fellow PCS survivors know that there is better days ahead! I know that it seems never ending....but it will get better yes it takes time and a lot of hard self help work.
I was undiagnosed for a year and few months of PCS/PTSD and since I had done quiet rest since December got medication a month and half ago....My life is so much brighter since 2011....

I had went off my sleep schedule since last Thursday and today is Sunday, I socialized, I felt some what "normal". I had no relapses I am getting back on sleep schedule tonight and the next 6months I am dedicating my energy to finish this fight of vestibular therapy, get jaw fixed, and start cognitive therapy in a month and half.

I wanted to let everyone know that life is not over and I am really liking this new person I am becoming after this horrible experience has made me!

(((KEEP PUSHING)))
