Hi I am currently 5 1/2 months into this. It started with me banging my head on a door, I instantly got woozy and knew something was wrong. I checked the CDC website, since I have never had a concussion before read that most concussion resolve within 7 to 10 days and wrongly concluded that I was fine. My stubborn personality got the best of me.

I had a huge trip planned to the southwest the next day with my wife and decided that we will take it easy but went on the trip anyways, without going to the doctor. I know, it was a bad decision but I didn't know a door hit could be so brutal. The trip lasted about three weeks, in which I felt bad and then good, went on some hikes, felt okay, went on some hikes felt worse.

Things starting going bad when we reached Colorado and the altitude told me something was really off. My wife and I decided to go back to her hometown, and when I got there I collapsed, now the symptoms have been ongoing for all these months.

I rested like crazy when I got back but realized that it was too little too late and this was the first time I found out about PCS. I have been resting but the anxiety is making this really difficult, I used to be a competitive rock climber, world traveling scuba diver and I am super active guy but now all that feels like a different life from the one I am living.

So..now I am in the trenches...Lets see Tinnitus, Panic attacks (these are crazy), Some visual stuff, problems sleeping at night, problems reading, stiff neck, I can still walk 20 minutes without getting a headache, I have weird head pressure. Depersonal, derealization, don't recognize myself in the mirror. I also can't watch TV or movies, this is the hardest thing I have ever experienced. Before this I was the happiest kid in town. Also a lot of new symptoms started 2 1/2 months in after I went for a bike ride and then spent too much time on a screen. I guess I didn't think things could get much worse.

The anxiety is insane as I feel that i have lost my life, I am super sensitive to sound. I get easily overstimulated when I go out, I am always super depressed. staying positive has been the hardest thing as I lost my dream job in the process of all this and this is my first year of being married (my lucky wife). I got prescribed lexapro and ativan. Ativan helps, lexapro make me feel all weird i think.

I went to a Chiropractic Neurolgist for a month, it helped with my dizziness but didn't really help with the other symptoms.

So now..I am coming to the conclusion that if I don't do something drastic this condition will be permanent and that is scaring the **** out of me.

So I have decided to follow the vitamin stick every day, do two green smoothies every day, eat 6 to 8 eggs a days, drink milk mixed with Coconut oil. Eat salmon everyday. I know I will gain some weight but I can take that off when I get better. I am also ordering a Hyperbaric Chamber to rent for a couple of months, turns out its pretty cheap like $900 a month, in which I will do 120 dives at 1.3 atmosphere for an hour and a half each. I know there is no guarantee but I feel likes this will really get me in the mood to follow my regimen.

To keep myself busy, I will follow the buffalo protocol on exercising with a treadmill and I am an artist so I guess I will start painting so I don't go haywire. I feel like I am going crazy I was hoping for all of this to kind of disappear with time but seems like this condition stays with you unless you really attack it. Kind of feels like I am going to war! I will continue this for the next 6 months as I have taken that time off to recover, taking each day as it comes.

The tinnitus is driving me insane and the thought that I might not ever get better makes me go crazy. Any advice from the gurus would be great. Also, weird question has anyone gone scuba diving after they recovered? Really scared that I will never be able to dive again.
