Relax, Rest that sweet head. .
[While I realize that there comes a point when a person no longer refers to their injury as a concussion, I found the following site helpful and full of information about managing syptoms of traumatic brain injuries.]
From: Healyourconcussion.com, Concussions and Rest -
Stop! If you have a concussion you need to make sure you are not participating in your normal activities (including physical, emotional, mental, tv, phone, & internet!) Relaxation is vital when you are living with a concussion or post concussion syndrome, and it can affect the way you feel drastically. It doesn’t sound hard, but, can actually be quite tricky. Do you know how to relax? Like many others, I had to learn to relax in a whole other way once I had a concussion. We all know learning something new requires effort, which can be tricky when you have a concussion even if the task is simply to relax. But it’s clear that the brain heals most when you’re calm, so if that’s what it takes to help my brain heal, then I’m in. It’s important to relax before you’re stressed out. Set out a daily routine with scheduled times (try setting alarms on your phone) to completely rest. Here are some of the tools I have found to be essential: ocean sounds (machine), meditation, Rescue Remedy, Zen (supplementation), and polarized sunglasses. Tip: I rarely go without polarized sunglasses outside, inside stores and other buildings with bright lights due to light sensitivity from my concussion. The polarized lenses reduce glare, which in turn reduces mental overwhelm and headaches.

Sounds good--but reality and everyday living can be stressful--especially if you are a in charge person---so Caren's job is to LEARN TO RELAX---prayers-----
Sometimes it can be helpful to pay attention to your breathing. Are you a chest breather, like most of us? Try breathing all the way into your abdomen. Sounds weird, but it's extremely effective and relaxing. LOVE, Penny
