Wink I have had pcs 6 years

Hi, I was constantly told you will get better and there is nothing wrong with you as the MRI and C/T didn't show anything. I also managed to score average and above in psych tests - despite my head feeling like it was exploding and having to sleep afterwards. My psychiatrist has now told me that this is as good as it gets. To avoid headaches and to be able to function to the max I have to have a half hour snooze and 11.30 am and sleep for an hour in the afternoon. I also have to avoid noise and bright lights. I work 3 hour days. I am now reconciled - most of the time that this is it, but still hope that one day I will wake up "normal". I have had many tbi all described as mild, the ones that did the damage were 6 weeks apart - hit my head on a hanging basket and then on the door frame getting into a car - never would you believe the long lasting effects! I would do anything to make it go away!!
