Hello NeuroTalk World!!
I am ready to kick 2013 to the curb and go on to the future. I got a "mild" concussion from a car accident, got better, then got PCS, and am now much better. (Not using that slippery word healed though) But I found this site in 2013, and it has been the **best** healing advice for me here!!! I have new ideas, new creativity and a passion to help others with this dreaded affliction. Here's wishing you all the healing feeling and that you feel God's blessings around you. With much love, poetrymom

[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. |
