Guys I'm not sure what happened. I'd been improving but suddenly I'm getting headaches every day now. I feel like I've had a set back but I can't think of anything that could have caused it. I'm only working half-days and napping when I get home. I've been doing this for two weeks now and yet suddenly I'm having this problem. I think my speech is getting bad again. I have to think about what I want to say. I'm so confused. But as luck would have it I have a follow up appt with my doctor today in about an hour. So I guess we'll see.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks. Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia. And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc. |

OH NO!
something at work that you are doing more taxing? Budgets? Floor Plans? Move weird and maybe your neck is causing it? Hopefully the doctor will have some answers for you!

Are you taking any supplements? Those helped cure up some of my pain.
Also, if you have only been working part-time again for a few weeks, maybe it's just all catching up with your body? You might just need more rest. (I know it feels like you're already resting a lot, but toward the beginning of my recovery, I spent almost the entire day in bed)

And God I hope this isn't a response to working so much as I'm due to go back to 8 hour days next week. It seems like if I'm not at work I'm asleep as it is.
