post-concussion symptoms after 4 months. help needed!
Dear all,First of all, sorry for any possible English mistakes. This is not my mother tongue!
I really need help with my post-concussion symptoms, since alopathy doctors just say all I have is normal and that I should be patient and wait.
I suffered a bicycle accident in Germany 4 months ago (September 2014). I was riding downhill (=fast), and as my cap flew away and I tried to catch it back, I lost balance, flew over the bike and the bike fell on my head, more precisely on the left side of my occipital bone - I didn't hit my head on the floor though. I was taken straight to the hospital, where I had to wait for hours to get a CT scan taken of my head. Even though the images showed no abnormalities, they decided to keep me there for one night for observation. Since nobody gave me no instructions, I watched TV and read my book for basically the whole night (!!) and then I went home. I didn't get enough rest for on the following weeks, since I was living at a friend's place, but a second CT scan showed no issues either.
In October 2014 then I moved to the Netherlands, which meant having to pack stuff, a lot of stress etc. After some time, all symptoms were getting better, but since about 2, or 3 weeks, I've been feeling very bad, and all symptoms are back:
- Headaches: basically during the whole day, it gets worse when working on the computer (I work 8h sitting in front of a bic iMac screen) or checking something on my phone. Sometimes my head gets these hot flushes, as if I had fever;
- Dizziness: which also gets worse when working with the computer or checking my phone.
- Motionsickness: I cannot look outside the window of a train in movement, for example, otherwise I might get dizziness and nausea;
- Noise and light sensitivity.
So, do you think arnica montana might still help me? What about belladonna and natrum sulph.? I'm getting quite desperate already! My former doctor had prescribed me Kalium sulfuricum D12, but I don't think that's helping me at all.
Thank you very much!!

After 4 months, this is no longer an acute/emergency situation, and remedies aimed at that kind of situation are unlikely to work.
Constitutional treatment is what is necessary here, as your own internal issues have absorbed the problem and moulded it accordingly. The whole case will direct you to a better remedy.
