I'm like a babe in the woods here. Some advice please?
Hi all!
Okay a little background. I'm a 32 year old woman and have never had any type of head trauma prior to early this past March. I whacked my head on the door frame of my car. I saw stars but didn't pass out. The following day I started experiencing all the classic symptoms: blurred vision, nausea, headaches, slurred and confused speech, the works. The CT scan was clear but I was off work for a few weeks. At or around week 3 I began experiencing sensory problems, specifically noise sensitivity. Went back to work for two weeks, mostly half days (if I made it half a day), and had a really hard time. I work in a kiosk in a mall and there's a lot of chatter and commotion that I can't get away from. I began experiencing panic attacks.
Fast forward to the second week of April and I managed to whack my head on the edge of my desk (biggest klutz in the world). Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Yay. I've been a mess since. Headaches daily, dizziness and light-headedness, my balance is a mess and now I'm light sensitive as well as noise. My doctor diagnosed me with PCS the other day and I'm seeing a neurologist on Monday.
So I'm kinda lost in the weeds here. I've been off work again for the past 2 weeks, and essentially most of the past 5 weeks. As stated, my work environment is not conducive to a quiet day, and I also do fine-motor repairs which require concentration. Obviously nobody knows what my neurologist is going to say but does anybody have any predictions for me?
Thanks so much!
