Default Watching your health with PCS

[QUOTE=Camman;501766]Hi everyone,


You're not the only one that deals with such things - I too, recently went into a relapse - partly due to being exhausted and overtired - I had just got back from a trip - wasn't feeling good at all - woke in the middle of the night extremely nauseated - went to the washroom - passed out and conked my head, again, falling off the toilet. Woke up about 10-15 minutes later, collected myself, cleaned the blood from the floor, washed the blood from my forehead, and went back to bed - didn't tell the wife until the next morning when she noticed the forehead, (opps!) got supreme for that one, but I didn't want to wake her or worry her in the night. Since then, I'm right back to the same symptoms as I had when I first got PCS in 2004, at which time I went through hell with the doctors and WCB. Unfortunately, with this ailment, you are primarily on your own - NUCCA Chiros, are of benefit, as are Pain killers - actually, I don't take them often, but I've gotten to know when I need to - and them as well as muscle relaxants need to be "Carefully" monitored with PCS, but are an essential part of surviving PCS. I don't talk to others about my condition, not even my wife. Living in constant pain, dizzy, ears ringing, nausea, are all part of it - as is your eyesight going to crap. I have also found that I have developed dyslexia of the keyboard. I am constantly jumbling words, then going back and correcting them - frustrating, but I've developed a kind of Zen about the whole thing.

I don't know if I helped or hindered but you need to know there are others out there dealing with it every day, and your positive attitude will help you more than anything else.
