From the Great Journals of ocdc:
Walked to the GP today. What should be a fifteen minute walk (or a 3 minute ride) took about half an hour. I felt like an old man, pausing to lean up against buildings. Peds thought I was drunk probably. Too skint to pay for a taxi. The cartoon image of seeing stars when you get knocked out is actually coming true. Each step is connected with the pain in my head and with it brings little light spots. It's not fun.
GP was a nice bloke, said I had concussion and whiplash to add to the little list of wrongs. Told me to take it easy. Walked slowly back home.

Forum's own ojeffcott got in touch, as linked to by Cliveo above. What an ace he is. Took me through it again really efficiently, really easily. Told me what I should do, what to expect. Says he wants to take the case on. In this situation I feel like it's a massive benefit to have someone on my side who understands cycling, never mind a forumenger.

Woke up from sleeping in quite a lot of pain just now. Can't sleep on either side because of shoulders, on back because of head injury, or on front because that's just not right. Have thought about hanging upside down from ceiling. Am reading Dracula, against Doctor's orders. Girlfriend making me bangers and mash.
Also against Doctor's orders and despite the headpain it causes, spent far too much time here:
