Default do your symptoms come and go?

Are your symptoms always consistent or do you have them on and off for example some weeks you won't have all symptoms?

Same here. But not for weeks, it's on some days. If I feel good for two days, then the symptoms come back for a few days. Then I start feeling better again.....always the same

Me too...it all is so random.

Getting better but still random and nonsensical at times.

The symptoms vary from day to day, but I had not a single day where I was 'fully there' since my injury

It's mostly just constant mild headache in the forehead and somewhat worse cognitive performance, but I've learned to compensate.

I do computer programming and a using the computer to help me do what I normally would've done in my head helps a lot. But even writing things down and drawing charts really helps a lot if you find it difficult to keep all the things in your head.

I have better days and worse days, but it's not that much to complain about.
Now, 10 months after the fact, it's really more of a nuisance than a showstopper.

The roller coaster ride of cognitive functions is often due to quality of sleep. Sleep apnea and other sleep issues may need to be investigated.

My doctor says that tbi symptoms are consistent and that because mine come and go that they are psychosomatic so I demanded a ct scan and I'm waiting results so he can referee me to a neurologist.

Typical doctor, if you're not bleeding on the surgery floor then it has to be psychological!

yesterday was pretty good for the most part, remembered about 80% of the day with little shaking. today had considerably more shaking, and forgot some minor things, like something that i just did. the shaking i am getting used to, but the memory loss is really frustrating.
