Thank you all for the replies. It's so nice to not feel so alone! (I say that but I live with husband, 19 year old brother in law, six kids ages 12-2 and three dogs lol)

I showed my husband the replies- it was eye opening for him. He truly has tried to be supportive, he just didn't understand. (He's a former Marine and you know how tough they are!)

As for medications: I'm taking Effexor 75 mg (was taking before my assault for depression and PTSD), Fiorcet at night, phenergan 25 mg every six hours and Norco as needed for breakthrough pain.

I also spoke to my lawyer today (I decided it wasn't worth the awfulness of dealing with WC and got myself an expert) and told her your advice. She's now actively advocating for me to get more than just a secondary neurology consult.

For the first time in five weeks I have real hope. Thank you all.
