Danny, Your options are incomplete. You are not insane. You may be training your brain to stay sensitive by focusing on your sensitivities. Early on, the sensitivities were real. But, there should have been some level of lessening of sensitivities even if they continue at some level.

Many of us have learned ways to moderate our sensitivities so that we can slowly increase our exposure. We may have gone from no tolerance to 15 minutes of tolerance or such, but we improve little by little.

You may never get back to the old you but you can improve greatly.

And, doctors are not incompetent. They may be ignorant or not trained in the specifics to understand our struggles. They are trained based on statistical data. Statistically, most would be greatly improved by now. Very few have enough experience to know that a few will have sustained PCS.

Doctors often reject symptoms and complaints that they can not understand or validate. It may be ego or just an attempt to pass you off. But, if they do not understand or take an interest, you need to look elsewhere.
