I don't mind expressing myself as I am a writer and a teacher. I try not to bore anyone with details or to go on and on about symptoms. That's where this board and other groups I belong to are really helpful.
As a teacher and one who genuinely wants to help others, I do talk about my accident and what helped me, but I do that more here. And honestly, I have more patience with students who are eternally distracted. I have that distracted mind too right now. I am very grateful for this forum. It gave me hope when I was so scared. Take care all pm

[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. |
