I have not had an assessment and have had little help from the doctors as I do not have insurance. I went to the ER twice where I was told I had PCS, but that was the extent of their help. Ive taken the recovery process into my own hands, but I want to make sure I am doing things right and healing myself properly.
I will however look into finding a support group, thank you for the link!

This may be covered by health insurance with a referral from a MD if you are seeing one.
Another suggestion would be to see if there are support groups in your area. The Brain Injury Association of America may have groups listed for your state.
