I'm a 34 year old paramedic who got assaulted by a patient and a now just over five weeks since my concussion.

Initially I went to the ER and was told "Just a concussion! You'll be fine in a few days!"
Three days later I was back at a different ER because I developed severe speech issues. Another CT and an MRI later and I was told I was fine.

PCP sent me to neurologist. She basically told me it was all due to my pre-existing PTSD and then said she felt PTSD was "all in my head" and suggested I see a psychiatrist.

I'm on a daily regimen of medications to control my pain and nausea- neuro gave me Elavil saying I'd be better in a week. I stopped taking it after 5 days due to worsening symptoms.
I battle nausea, dizziness, headaches, speech issues, numbness in my right hand and arm, loss of grip and here in the last couple weeks my right leg just gives out on me.

Can't work. Can't drive. I am terrified I'm never going to be able to work as a paramedic again.

Currently stuck in the loop of workers comp nonsense so my stress levels are off the charts. My husband is trying to support us on just his income while we wait on my checks.

My husband is also a medic and frustrated by my lack of improvement. He tries to understand but at times he's like "Why are you tired? You just woke up!" And my kids don't understand why mom wears earplugs all the time.

I just am totally at a loss.
