How long does post concussion head pain and cognitive fatigue last?

@ccmedic5 I’m 2 months away from 2 years since my car accident. I’m constantly struggling with headaches, anxiety, depression, nausea etc. I lost 45 lbs after the accident and have only been able to put 10 back on.
I was at a perfect weight 210 lbs 6’3” tall. My wife says I’m too vain to do any harm to myself. I can honestly say that there are nights when I wonder why I’m still on earth. I can read for 30 minutes and then the headaches and nausea start. Just writing this is doing me in. I’m glad I found this group because it’s nice to get my feelings out.
Thanks Mark

I am a month from 2 years and still suffering as well. I was hit by a car as a pedestrian. I have a moderate brain injury. I have made improvements, currently doing vision therapy however the fatigue, attention and multitasking are poor. I often need a nap after cognitive tasks. I am less patient and have a shorter fuse. I have not returned to work and struggle with the idea I will ever be able to return ( elementary teacher). My whole life has changed. It's hard because many people I would say most don't understand truly. It's very misunderstood. Not visible and usually with other injuries I could soldier on, I have had a double mastectomy. This is different you just can't. It feels as though my brain shuts down my body.
I continue to work towards healing. Onward and upward. I hope you are as well.

I am the same. Jan 24 2024. I will never be the same. Tough to live with. Dolly
