thanks
It has gotten better, but took a long time. I still try to avoid situations where I could be jarred such as driving on rough roads, boat rides in rough ocean, jumping, etc... I really don't want to test the limits of how far I can take this, the price is just too much.

I still get anxious after a big bump, but it's been getting better after I see that nothing happens to me.

EDIT: One thing that still bothers me is vibration, for example electric hair clippers buzzing against my scull, feels very unpleasant like my whole brain is buzzing inside. Same for using a hammer drill for example, there's just something about it. Doesn't seem to give me any symptoms except anxiety and headache, but I try to keep this to a minimum as well.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.

Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
