Hi, I posted back in January that I had gotten into a motorcycle accident in Oct and had PCS. I recently started back to work 3 days a week 4 hours a day.

Well this past weekend I was a passenger in a car and someone hit us on my side, Totaling the car. I slammed my head on the roof and got taken by ambulance to the hospital where I got 10 staples in my head. When I told them I had PCS they said they could not tell me if it would get worse or not.

I didn't get knocked out this time, was just in a fog for a bit. So far just more memory issues. I know it took a few weeks for my PCS to show up the first time. I'm wondering what the odd's are that it will come back full force.

I'm seeing my DR this week.

Really sorry to hear about your accident...its good that you got only memory issues at the moment, it could be worse, lets hope symptoms wont show up, but i think the odds are pretty big...

So sorry to hear about your story. I hope all goes well.

As the saying from the specialist goes: If you've seen one head injury, you've seen one head injury.

There is no way to predict your outcome but the time proximity to your previous head injury is not a hopeful indicator.

My best to you.

I feel like I have no luck I'm also wondering if the 20 mg of celexa I take for the existing one will help.

Celexa has no healing value for Post Concussion Syndrome. It may reduce some of the symptoms (depression) and reduce the visit and complaints to the doctor.

Many doctors prescribe anti-depressants and anxiolytic/antidepressant combination drugs due to the behavioral issues presented at an office visit. They may have a "at least I can treat the patient for something " attitude. It also helps them justify their billing to insurance companies.

It would be great if health care was truly about the health of the patient.

While typing this, I ran into a Freudian issue. My spell check tries to correct 'anxiolitic' to 'politician.' How does it know that politicians are the cause of much of societies' anxiety?

So sorry to hear about the accident.

Just try not to get yourself down about it, and take it easy for a while.
