Stage of recovery?
Hi - I'm a new member who has browsed this forum for a bit and found it quite helpful. I got a concussion about 11 weeks ago (almost three months). My question is about whether, based on your own experiences, my recovery might be soon. The symptoms I had about two months ago were sensitivity to light, fatigue, headache, insomnia, nausea, pressure in the head, and some brain fog. Overall, I have got better (sensitivity to light is gone, as is the brain fog and a lot of the fatigue) but there have been relapses and my progress has been slow. I can do errands now without symptoms but the next day I will feel sick (nausea, headache). I can do cardio for about 25 min. I sleep OK now - not great, but better than I did. I have more energy overall.
Both specialists I consulted said I would be fully recovered by the end of August. This is difficult for me to comprehend given that yesterday I did about two hours of errands and although I experienced no symptoms (a first!), today I have felt nauseous and have a bad tension headache. I am concerned that beginning a very high stress/long hours job at the very end of August is not realistic. I know it is important to stay positive and remain calm, but any ideas based on your own experiences regarding my recovery would be much appreciated!
Thanks
