Hello. I've been ill since 1/10/18

I had a bad fall 21st August 2018. Hot my head after tripping on a circle of tape that didn't break . I hit the concretention hard right side of face. Really thought I'd lost my teeth or broken something. Swollen lips. Brused painful ribs. Very bruised right knee and hip. Reacted and seemingly recovered . On 1/10 after a stagger walk in the garden fell. I couldn't get up. Crawled into the house. Virtigo (a first) then electric waves through my head and body. A+E said panic attack. It was not. Stagger walk still and dizzy. CT brain scan ckear. Gplease did blood test b12 deficient only find. 106 (200-900) b12 helped alot of awful neurologist symotoms. Still having injections jections. Now seemingly stuck. Nearly 6 months in. Last neurologist thinks post concussion syndrome. Present symptoms that remain. Extreme light and noise sensitivity. Intolerant of flore scent lights. Head constantly sizzling especially when doing this typing. Can't read a book watch TV. If I try head goes up a pitch legs give weaknow. Debilitating headaches/migrain 14 hrs long.

Fatigue. Heavy crunchy head and neck. Glasses feel clamped to head

On 4th change of prescription since October. Eyes popping. Burning sets on scalp numbness across nose mouth and face. Does anyone of this sound familiar to anybody . Thus was 5 weeks after nasty fall. Have been on a trial of amitriptyline to try and stop head pain. Off it now as too many side effects. Any information about your experiences appreciated
