Hi

I’ve literally just been told yesterday I have pcs don’t really think he knew what else to say to me I’m sure they think I’m crazy he was trying to ask me if I was stressed and have a stressful job which I always find patronising.

So why am I here?

I guess for reassurance that I’m not crazy or having some sort of breakdown.

I literally banged my head on the corner of a velux window opening yes it made me cry but it didn’t knock me out it didn’t break the skin, everyone has hit there head at some stage in a similar fashion. So why me... why am I here three weeks later still in bed still not functioning in life... how on earth can that knock cause this???

I just want to scream and shout or sit and cry the frustration is so hard to deal with I’m 34 I’m a finance director and a Mum to 4 year old so my life is go I go to the gym 3/4 times a week I work 24/7 and the rest is nursery runs and time with my little lady. So needless to say I’m not coping with this very well if I’m ill I always ride through it I’m not a person that has time to be ill.

So yes I banged my head three weeks ago went straight to bed feeling sick and dizzy and from there didn’t move 5 days I’m my face on one side went numb swollen so I took myself to the doctor who sent me for a ct scan.

Confusion over the ct first doc came and told me there was a bruise a cross the back of my brain and he thought I would be kept in and sedated. Next doctor walks in concussion your fine go home 10 days you’ll be sorted.

Day 15 felt abit better got up managed day with my daughter we baked we made Xmas decorations felt fine great all gone I thought.... no back in bed day after. Thought the next day I have to go to work so got someone to drive me went into office sat in meetings so not even computer work got abit muddled with things struggled to articulate myself said something like “clear as mustard” which everyone thought hilarious. That night back in a&e in agony from there I had MRI bloods all back clear yesterday and that’s the answer PCS.

In bed again today missing family time dads taking little one out for the day I obviously get to stay at home in bed!!!

At what stage does this get better because I don’t want to accept 3-6 months maybe more... I kind of need a cure now
