Thanks guys. I appreciate the responses. My inclination was to follow my body but it's tough when your doctor is telling you that you really should be over this by now and dismissive of things you say. She actually questions me about my mental health (no worse than normal lol) and tells me my posture sucks more than anything. I hate the idea of going to anyone else because I've had enough medical bills from this as it is and I don't know what they could tell me that I don't already know. I want someone to validate my feelings but I don't want to accrue more bills for it. Work has been incredibly supportive so far but the deadline for me to be back up to a full 40 is September 1, which is fast approaching. I just have to pace myself I guess.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
