Hey Ash,

Sorry to hear about how your appointment ended, nobody needs to put up with that.

Bone window is a reference to a head CT scan, the information gotten as a standard is usually viewed under a 'soft tissue' and 'bone' window by the radiologist reporting on your head CT scan. Each one focuses on the different density tissues displayed on the scan, it's easier to find certain pathologies this way than viewing a CT scan using a 'wide open window'.

It's unfortunate that more of these specialists haven't themselves dealt with a concussion or PCS because I think they would be a lot more understanding and helpful to patients if they had. Your experience with your neurologist sounds somewhat typical from what I've heard and from what I've experienced. Rushed, with few questions answered and no real direction given for recovery. I think this is something that seriously needs to change with how these 'specialists' treat their patients but hey. . . .

I found naproxen helped to reduce the headaches I was suffering when I started taking it. Allowed me to start working again, hopefully it helps you as well to reduce some of the headache symptoms. I took it for about 2 months, I found it really helped. I've since stopped taking it daily on advice from the neurologist I saw who told me to start taking it only when I get headache symptoms. So far my headaches are much milder than before although I seem to get new milder symptoms with the old ones having faded . . . .taking it as a sign of progress.
