April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel. Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements. Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses. "You will encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

you mean iike how i'll be up worrying about whether or not I have intracranial hypertension?
that one came in my sleep last night while the pulsating tinnitus was going on In my ear and the back of my head felt like it was going to tear off and join another body. If I come up with a better worry tonight i'll get rid of the oldest worry on the list and file it somewhere for emergency. Worries come to me in the night like songs came to the Beatles on LSD |

i don't know why the guy has to write down his worries, i remember mine just fine!
 like...i woke up shaking in the middle of the night last night rather than in the morning...these drugs are probably killing me even though they're making me maybe a little less anxious...and, i'm pretty sure the pounding in my head will never cease.
