Mark,

That is a great post. I wish I had seen that in the early stages of my injury.

I was not over-prescribed therapy initially. I was quite the opposite in that I saw doctors who didn't really give me much guidance other than "time". I was not told how the injury affected me, and at the time I did not understand the anxiety associated with it. That is why I shared the article.

It has been my experience, that more people tend to be under-treated than over-treated. I can't imagine where I would be right now if I had followed my first neurologist's advice. But I agree with your comment about "shotgun therapy".

I could not agree more regarding being too focused on one's symptoms. That has been a challenge for me... how can I not focus on my symptoms when they're in my head?! But I have had a few of the "aha" moments you described.

I've spent a good deal of time reading messages on this board before I even posted. I'm sorry for what you've been dealing with for so long. Clearly you are very knowledgeable on the topic.
