I have a lot to be thankful for. I had a supportive family. I too found my real friends and friends here too.
I took this year of healing and wrote about it. I just published my book and it's called Make Art from Your Splattered, Scattered Brain: my journey through post-concussion syndrome. It's now available at amazon. I don't want to sound like a commercial, but doing that book was really very positive for me and I encourage anyone to find the things you CAN do to help you feel better. 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. |
