I sustained a serious head injury in the past, and while fortunately memory loss hasn't been a noticeable symptom of mine, I've developed migraine headaches which I had never experienced before but continue to pester me every day since.

I have been very lucky in my recovery because there was a period of time when it was grueling to walk moderate distances unassisted because my balance was thrown completely out of whack. I'm not sure how old your injury is, but within a year I had recovered tremendously that my only persistent symptom are migraine headaches. I took omega fish oil supplements like another poster recommended, but I cannot honestly attest for their efficacy or not. It probably was just a placebo but I felt more comfortable taking them (supposedly your brain re-builds connections between neurons using fatty acids, and for whatever reason the fats in fish oil are apparently better)

Unfortunately I have no medical background or any sort of expertise to validate my words of encouragement, but I wish you a stoic recovery and recommend you try to maintain an optimistic mindset because there were times when I abandoned hope and didn't think I would ever recover as substantially as I have. Speaking from personal experience, head injuries are especially abhorrent because even though the symptoms are at many times severe and miserable, most people struggle to grasp just how difficult the recovery is because from the outside we superficially appear completely healthy. I earnestly hope that your recovery is similar to mine and that a year from now your symptoms will dramatically improve to just being mild inconveniences, but never lose hope and make sure you find a Neurologist that you feel super confident in (I ended up visiting four before I found one that I felt comfortable with tracking the progress of my condition).
