Default Square one

Hello everyone, I have been reading a lot of information on this board, however after I read it, seems like I forget what I read.

My story is this. I was rear ended and then pushed into a bus. I don't recall the accident. It happened almost four weeks ago. I have had two ct scans which have come back negative. I saw a physiatrist whom said I had a really bad concussion and cervicagia, put me on klonopin and ordered mayo fascial release. Needless to say, I started the mayo fascial, about a five min. Super light massage with some range of motion, hot pads and electric stim. Each visit made me ten times worse. Neurologist appt. last week, discontinued klonopin, and mayo fascial therapy. He put me on gabapentin 300 mg at bedtime. He said I have post concussion syndrome.

My symptoms are. Severe headache since accident, not a headache person pre accident. Very limited rang of motion in my neck, along with bad neck and trap pain. I experience dizziness with any range of movement, memory loss, grasping for thoughts, forgetting things, foggy, and not at all feeling like me. And overall just very sad. I am a mom three very active girls, one is only 3.

Here is my question. Gabapentin was like a miracle drug first day. Slept like a baby, no pain, headache went from a ten to a four, of course I felt drugged and I do experience a different kind of headache. On day five of taking med, I started feeling like my old self. On Friday, I cleaned a little, baked brownies and did laundry, I was back, I needed to be, it was my daughters 8th bday the next day. Saturday afternoon out of know where, Bang, I was back to feeling like I was just in the accident. What the hell happend. Every symptom came back. Called neuro yesterday he upped the gabapentin to three times a day. What happend.??????

I had a MRI of my brain on Thursday and have a EEG and emv?? Next week.
I have so many questions and no one to ask. Feeling lost.
