Default Symptom free for two weeks

I have just been on a sunny holiday for two weeks, relaxed by the pool, sunbathed, taught my son to swim, snorkled with my children, ate out every night, no stress at all.

The result of this was no symptoms whatsoever. Unfortunately back at work today and now feel tired and have sore eyes again after computer work, but no headache.

Having a relaxing holiday without daily pressures has helped me realise how far I have come.

[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.
