My world turned upside down....I had to quit my job, which was pca work, Mom was my client. She had cancer. I filed work comp in hopes of getting help with medical costs...they denied me, and now I have an attorney. I Don't even remember going in to sign papers with the attorney, and work comp still has not helped me. I don't get it. I had amnesia after this fall, and was too embarrassed to tell anybody. I isolated in my room with no lights or tv. I spent most days and nights in the bathtub with a neck brace on. This was the best pain relief I could find. I have been taking lots of magnesium and b complex vitamins to try and ward off nerve damage, but my cns is really messed up. I have multiple pcs symptoms, and life has been really hard. Thank you for this place to vent, understand, learn and share. xo
