Neck is still not great but I am working with a person here in Dallas that does some traction and active stretching along with massage... hopefully this will help!
As for the neurologist... I do not know that I have EVER been more disappointed with a doctor... I now understand what you have all been going through... My neurologist back home was always up to try alternative treatments and understood that there is a difference between a trauma headache and a migraine...
This guy did not want to answer our questions and threw drugs at the headache.. this time it is immatrix and depacoat... He said that there are the big 4 and I have been on 3 of them... I am guessing I have not be on this latest one because IT IS NOT A MIGRAINE!!!! and they are all migraine meds...
Tomorrow I go and do the neuropsych for the physical medicine doc and then meet with her on the 15th (I am trying to move that up so i can go home to my husband and minions)
Question about neuropsych.. do they do a repeat after a few months to check progress?

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.
Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.
