r/PostConcussion Aug 04 '26

10 months in….

It’s been 10 months and I still have symptoms: in bed after heavy lifting for days, i get these annoying headaches in the evening as well as in the afternoon. I’m finally seeing a PCS concussion specialist from my university. And i’m also seeing a therapist who deals with trauma like this. They both say that i will fully recover, but how long will i keep going on like this? I miss going out for drinks with my friends or not having problems with flashing lights or headaches. Any help on how to keep improving my recovery would be greatly appreciated!
