I was wondering at what point should I see a neurologist about all this. I've heard 6 months is usually a good marker, but if there is some sort of medication that would help now I wouldn't see the point in waiting. This whole PCS thing sure sucks - it's hard to know when to stop looking for answers and when to just accept that it is what it is.
Thanks and to all those suffering from this be strong.

its very easy for them to say wait it out as they arent the ones going through it. The first GP I went to see gave me pills for some sort of stomach issue because I had just returned from Mexico. I laughed and said my stomachs fine, nevertheless I told her to get lost and havent been back.
Ive had good luck with a chiropractor, how are your eyes during the day? Id suggest calling a few that wont be telling you you have to come back 2 times a weekf or a couple months, see if you can find one thats actually concerned about you and getting you better..
The one I goto has a great rep and a laser therapy machine, the laser did wonders for me but I still relapse. The chiro guy is actually pretty angry about it as he cant figure out why I continue to relapse
Im going to try acupuncture this week too as Ive heard it can be quite helpful
Good luck!
