Just wanted to give an update.. I have not posted here in a while. Its been 13 months since my bad concussion. Almost all of the symptoms have gone away.. the only time I have felt them is when I get extremely stressed out.

I can now work with no problems. Before I was confused, fatigued, irritable and just feeling in a fog. I work long hours sometimes and I have been able to work a 12 hour day with no major problems. I don't know if I can handle exercise yet, but I will try in January.

I went to the doctor 3 months ago and he prescribed me Amantadine, which was originally an antiviral med, but docs noticed it helped Parkinsons and the concussion specialist told me it also helped with tbi. I took a low dose for 2 months and it helped with fatigue and concentration probs. I felt ok when I was on it, but after 2 months when I stopped taking it I felt even better... so its been about a month since I have been off the med and I am without any PCS symptoms 90% of the time (which is a huge improvement from 6-7 months ago).

I still want to try neurofeedback to get me back to 100% and I may do that in January or Feb. If I am able to exercise in January without causing symptoms I will be amazed... I will keep you posted.

I Just thought this might give some people hope that PCS will fade. I can tell you it has been a long and gradual process.. but I think the worst is behind me.. as long as I dont hit my head again
