Arrow i'm one of you

Hello everyone. I have been here reading and learning about myself. I am coming up to 6 weeks post injury. I was running outside and hit black ice on a turn to the left and only remember coming to and not being able to lift my head.I was able to call for help and a lady found me and helped me to her home. I don't remeber a lot, just bits and pieces. I started to come around in the ambulance. My face was pretty messed up,swollen, road rage burn, black eye. Look like a car accident rather than a fall. Anyway, here we go. My concern at first was how I was going to heal for scars. Turns out that went beautifully, but rather the head is now the issue. I wish now that I had broken something rather than deals with this. I have developed pcs, and have continued to work part time. Life has been awful. Concentration problems, confussion, headaches, ringing in the ears, blah blah blah. I have researched everything I can. I have found that there is a successful treatment that made well a hockey player that was nonfunctioning person for two years and made him well again. Guess what, it is in my city in Canada, I have started the treatment and have improved greatly on regaining my thoughts, and mental compacity and I am once again able to regain my life at work. This all after 5 treatments. My headaches are bit less but still continue and the ringing in the ears is annoying.

I have some questions. Has anyone had ringing in the ears? When did it improve? Does everyone continue to work? My doctor has given me a month leave, that I didn't start until now, because of work, but now my boss has seen that I have improved my skills again and thinks I am fine. I am worried that I won't heal. If you work does it allow the brain to heal. I was feeling a bit better but a raked the lawn today and now I am paying. I have six days in a row off and was still dropping into work today and thought I could go back in a week but now after over doing it I realize I am still introuble. Please anyone help me on there experience on pcs and work. I need some input.
the treatments have given me my ability to concentrate, work on the computer, multie task etc. but the headaches are always present and the ringing of the ears gets worse. I vow to lay on my back the rest of the week. All extra stuff in my life must stop. Sorry for the long post. Send me any infor you know or email me I would appreciate any information. Thank you
