DannyT,

You need to not ask for a timeline. Any timeline for recovery is pure BS. Nobody, even the best specialists can give you a timeline.

Research has shown that when people with PCS stop worrying about when they will recover and accept their symptoms as real and now and try to adapt their lives to work-around their symptoms and limitations, they slowly show improvement. Those who spend time fretting about every little symptoms will take longer to heal and be more prone to developing the psych issues you allude to.

Doctors cannot fix us. Meds cannot fix us. There are some therapies and treatments that can help some people with specific symptoms such as vision therapies, vestibular therapies. But what helps one person will not necessarily help the next person. Meds can only reduce a symptom but not heal that symptom. Healing takes time and is not usually in our control.

It is PAINFULLY frustrating but it is the way things are.

We can go on and we do go on.
