Mark really nailed some important points. We all have to learn how to live in a state of recovery from a brain injury. Each person will have a different answer to this.
I have recovered quite a lot from where I was, but I do tire more easily and my tiredness is no longer easy to put off. Meaning, I have to rest. I need quiet in my life. I can't tolerate a lot of noise the confusion of many voices talking all at once. As I am more tired at the end of the day, this is harder for me and can give me a light headed feeling. That said, I will take that 97 or 98. something and go with it. I never want to have to go back to the dark cave days of being in minimal light for 18 hours and waking brain tired. Heal on friends. Heal on.

[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. |
