Hi there, Michelle here...

You have had a very serious injury. The pain and disorientation are very real and are part of the head injury and impact from the accident.

I think you need to go back to the hospital. Your pain sounds out of control for trying to manage at home. The hospital can evaluate your injury and perhaps prescribe a better pain reliever.

Some meds can make you very disoriented, and can make you feel fuzzy headed. If you are already on a medication/pain pill check with the side effects or ask your pharmacist about the side effects to find out if you are feeling worse from those.

But, a car accident is a big deal to your body. Feeling cold, and tired, and out of it are actually quite normal, but you also have a head injury.

Please go back to the hospital and have them help you out.

Good luck, M.
