Hey everyone again,

Was glad to find this forum and after receiving good information on my last post I thought I would throw out a few questions that I have been trying to sort out myself.


Hx is that I was T-boned waiting at an intersection, did not hit my head rather was thrown around, felt like I had been concussed about an hour later, initially thought it was adrenaline, but after a few hours I realised that the drunk/euphoric/amnesia stuff was more than just that. I have suffered multiple concussions, 1 major and now looking back at least 4 others from hockey.

I have had what I have finally come to admit as major psych issues with anxiety and at some times what I would call depression as well as for at least 2 months almost OCD behaviour. I have gotten a handle on most of this stuff, mostly through working with psychologist, and finally coming to terms with the fact it is there.



My other symptoms were headache, Vision problems nausea initially that passed after a few weeks although I still have transient bouts with it. Cognitive difficulties with speech slurring, memory short and long term, major confusion, concentration issues. Most of these have resolved to somewhat manageable.
Sorry for the long history this mostly sums up the problems I think so my questions.

I have had vision problems and what has been Diagnosed as Mild Convergence Insufficiency / Disphoria? I am not even sure what the difference is if there is one, my problem is I have a hard time verbalising and describing how this effects me, its always there, sometimes more sometimes less, but I am wondering how all of you got your point across to your opthamologists??

I was essentially told, since your not complaining of double vision its not our issue. I have a request to see another Neuro-opthom months from now.

I also have a Neuropsych assesment pending, which I am excited for, I want to know what deficits if any do exsist. However without a baseline how will they know? Is there anything you guys wish you had brought up or prepared for?

I also have neck injuries from the accident for which I am seeing a physio, he has been great, Xray revealed that the neck is mildly curved from the spasm, could this possibly have an effect on my eyes?

Lastly, how do you guys get it across that yes your symptoms get worse, and better and worse again sometimes within the same week?, I feel like the Docs sometimes look at me cross eyed when improvement halts and I fall back a little.

Thanks for your time in reading all these questions and the long history, hopefully it all makes sense.
