You would think that a doctor and an attorney would just sort it all out for you. But no. It seems that doctors don't recognize postconcussion syndrome very well, and don't have much sensible advice. You would think that they would at least tell you to stop drinking.
Is there any organization that you can call who will give you good advice?
I'm from the UK and we have Headway, which gives advice on the phone and it is much more sympathetic than you can guarantee from a doctor.

I agree with you Concussed Scientist. I was given virtually no meaningful advice much less any sort of recognition or hint at diagnosis as to what I was going through. I only discovered what I had by researching a lot myself, and this was only months after the incident. It frustrates me to think about it. I would have appreciated some medical advice. I found that I continued partying and drinking which was quite dangerous to myself i'm sure.
