Hello Berkeleybrain. I live in SF and have been suffering PCS for several months. I am trying to find some specialist anywhere in the area (vision, chiro neurology, etc). Is there a way I can contact you and pick your brain (in a good way) to get some suggestions on where to go?
Thanks
Zack

I, too, have a PhD, so our scores will be a bit "higher" in the neuropsych evals, if only because we've had more years of education.
I couldn't return to work earlier because of binocular vision issues and vertigo migraines. Both have been addressed through vision therapy and medication-not resolved but are manageable now. I also feel that if I don't return to work, albeit somewhat minimum work levels, I am about to be fired! So I will try.
It's really isolating to be with mtbi and recovering from pcs. I did do volunteer work at 1.5 years. This seem to help with the social aspects of work, and the administrative processing. The risk was very low. I got to work through a lot of my own fears about being ready or not through volunteering and that helped!
Your neuropsych can also help with a return to work plan as well!
Best of luck!
