just because I'm feeling better doesn't mean
A. I am ready to drive a car yet. B. Go back to work (though I probably will at some point before the school year is over) C. I will feel this way again tomorrow if I overdo things today. This journey with PCS is so different from any other way I've been sick or injured, because it has peaks a n d Valleys.......... But I too have abundant HOPE which does not mean I should go out and jump rope, read that novel I want to read write more and more and more no but take it easy, and find out gently what can can be done

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |
