Pixie Medic,
Try not to let Workers Comp get the best of you! There are still a few reputable health professionals accepting the BS that WC provides--I know only too well as my concussion was on the job and every health professional I see does not take WC cases frequently, but are to help me out. I was a therapist (OT) and my background & colleagues have been helpful in finding appropriate therapies for my issues.
As Mark said, your right sided issues should be a red flag to any neurologist to check out your neck! A good PT with manual therapy/cranio-sacral therapy & another versed in vestibular therapy to assess your dizziness/nausea issues would be helpful to you. If you find the dizziness/ nausea are worse with specific activities (driving- head turning and acceleration/deceleration, bending forward to use a dishwasher, washing machine or putting on shoes, rolling over or quickly going from sitting to lying down in bed--this would indicate vestibular issues. As a mom, doing things to take care of your family while dealing with PCS is highly fatiguing (to say the least!). PCS is fatiguing!!
As for PTSD, I feel your pain! I was hit by students and had nightmares for quit a while. I still have problems walking in crowded areas, but just this week, actually missed working with my students. PTSD is psychological and physical as Mark said. If you can find a psychologist that specializes in brain injury that would be helpful. Speaking with someone who understands where your anxiety is coming from and that your brain has had a major insult and needs time to heal can be very useful.
Hang in there! You are only 5 weeks post and with rest & appropriate therapy, hopefully this too shall pass! Stay strong and don't let WC say you cannot get authorization for appropriate care. Make them help you find reputable health care professionals that you feel comfortable with!
And, remember, you have all of us on NeuroTalk to fall back on and help you find the tools you need.
