Only the remnants of PCS last night with mild ear ache for 20 minutes in one ear and a 1/10 headache in the evening. I feel 100% this morning after putting my body to new limits in the gym the past two days. Normally I don't have symptoms, apart from mild fatigue. It is an amazing feeling running at pace again, when previously I could barely do anything of a physical nature. I am on 30mg Cymbalta still so that could be disguising things, but in all honesty I don't think I wil need to be on it for much longer. PCS can be unbelievably slow to get over but it can and will be overcome.

Congratulations! But do ramp up activities gradually. I had a setback from playing tennis.m the hard swing plus head rotation gave me some symptoms.

[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. |
