musicman,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. CanadaDoc has not participated in this thread since last July. He checks in occasionally but not lately.

You posted "So I can completely identify with every post! I've been suffering with PCS since January of this year and it has completely turned my life upside down!! Canadoc have you made any more progress since this original thread? As in treatments etc... I'm particularly interested b/c your symptoms are so similar to mine and you also work in the medical field. I can say with out a doubt that Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been the ONLY thing that has made any significant difference in my recovery. "

Glad to hear HBOT made a difference so quickly. Most do not see an improvements until they have had 40 or more treatments. I wonder if it just accentuated spontaneous healing that 85% see in the first month or two.

"And I mean almost immediately, however I cracked my head on the hatchback of my van as I was unloading equipment for work and have regressed pretty significantly!! The minor bumps are maddening!! I went to hug an elderly lady at church and she came in a little too quick and that small bump just set me back even further. I was at a social function today telling people please don't hug me as Ive re-injured my head. Even thought about wearing a neck brace just so people would be more careful when they approach (we hug each other down here in the South). I'm struggling with the fact that I might not be able to exercise the way I used to. (talk about anxiety and depression) At this point, I can't exercise at all, however I was making progress in the early part of my hyperbaric treatment which is now so much more frustrating since I am now back to balance problems, muscle weakness, brain fog, vision problems, cognitive issues, etc... Was considering Atlas orthogonal, but I've also read about that making things worse. Anybody with some experience with that type of therapy for PCS? "

Many have tried upper cervical chiropractic (Atlas Orthogonal and NUCCA). It is very helpful for some and no improvement for others. Every brain injury is different so it is problematic to try to compare outcomes from any treatment.

What else have you done to help with healing ?

Since you brain appears to be responsive to metabolic issues, have you tried any vitamin and supplement regimens to help your brain heal ? There is a Vitamins and Supplements sticky at the top that is worth your read.
