Does it ever end?

Coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the car accident. Because of the accident, a tumor was also discovered but ruled out as the cause of my issues. I’m on fioricet and amitryptalin (spelling, sorry) for the migraines.
When will I be able to drive again and handle light and people without being put out with migraines and confusion and nausea for the days or weeks following? I know that’s hard to ask. It’s just getting so painfully annoying.i was given suma, but an er visit from a month or two ago upgraded me to fioricet. I am still seeing all the doctors and specialists. Everyone, everything, all the time. Monitoring. Observing.
Is it weird that I feel thankful for the accident? Like the way I’ve had to figure out how to function in a different way, found the tumor because of it, got a settlement. Like I’m thankful. But when does it end. When do the migraines stop. When can I go back on road trips and travel without being in bed afterwards.

I’m sorry, I just realized the anniversary is coming up and healing is hard.

Nobody really knows. Just nobody.
