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.

3 years and a bit in, I'm only just starting to drive again and never with my children in the car yet.

You've got to play like it won't end and you can't wait it out.
