Nigel,
What an excellent post! Yes, what a loss PCS is! For awhile you lose who you are! When you are really ill, you do not even know the degree of your problems and there is so much dirorganization. Part of what was taken away from you when you were ill, was lack of understanding. Your situation was misunderstood back then! I hope that now that you realize this, you can explore these feelings and hopefully you will feel better. You may have a little of what they call post traumatic stress from it. Hopefully more support given to PCS patients will prevent this from happenning. Take care and hope you can feel better!
Nancy
