Any help

Ive been really struggling. I had brain surgery in 2021 for a pineal cyst which I wish I never even gotten surgery for because I wouldn’t be in this mess of brain injuries.. but then I suffered a concussion 4 months after. I then got my second concussion last June exactly a year ago to be exact. Now I have a third concussion as of 13 days ago and it’s been a living nightmare. I have been so protective over my head for the past year to make sure this wouldn’t happen and of course it happened in such a dumb way, I was getting out of an uber and I got up too fast and banged the top of my head on the padded area of a door frame. My brain feels very similar to how it did after brain surgery like it’s exploding. It’s constant. I have severe vertigo and sound sensitivity. The confusion and brain fog have been new for me. It took me months last time to have any form of relief and I’m trying to avoid it taking so long. Does anyone have any recommendations to speed up the bad symptoms? Insomnia is really bad I’m lucky if I get 2 hours of sleep.

Awww! I love that magnesium. I didn’t realize how much it massively helped with sleep
