I'm recovering from PCS currently, as you can read in my signature.
Right now, I have very low sensitivity to physical movements. For example, bending down for a few times will cause me some dizziness and sort of brain fog for at least a few minutes. Sadly, it's even with more little things - Even when I sometimes drink something from a glass, and I lift the glass too quickly to my mouth (it hits my mouth from lifting it very quickly), my symptoms return and I get brain fog. This has never happened before my concussions (These little hits from glasses in the mouth, for example, used to just hurt slightly in the past, but now I feel like it makes my brain shake and it makes my symptoms return). This force from the glass isn't even close to the force needed to cause a concussion, but even such small hits with low force cause my symptoms to return aggressively. Sometimes it'll even happen if I walk too fast or just move around quickly (exercise makes symptoms much worse pretty quickly as well). Since I'm pretty early in my recovery, can I expect to regain some sensitivity to physical movements? I mean, will I be able to tolerate small hits to the face (that sometimes happen by accident, like the example I wrote) without getting brain fog and dizziness for hours? And will I be able to regain sensitivity to head movements, such as the ones caused by physical activity? Thanks, -ProAgonist

January 2, 2016 update: I am very optimistic, as I've made a significant recovery until now (2-Jan-2016). I am confident that my situation will keep improving. |
