Hi all,

I'm new on the forum. I was in an accident just over three months ago and have been struggling with PCS ever since. I've had to drop out of university until September (provisionally) and am now back at home with my family. Life has been difficult since, coping with the daily headaches, severe headpains, dizziness, nausea and the increasingly visible cognitive problems; memory, any form of maths or dealing with numbers, confusion, attention/concentration, word order, slow processing, word finding and real trouble reading. I also have a small leak of spinal fluid into my ears which isn't much fun either.

Anyway, now I'm away from university life and my friends I'm having trouble finding anything to do with my long and boring days spent at home. I really need to find some focus or something to do.

Reading this forum has helped me see that there are so many other people in similar positions who'll understand (I find one of the huge problems with PCS is that everyone assumes you're fine and it's difficult to explain to them how you're not). I was wondering what any of you in a house-bound position did to amuse yourselves and distract you from feeling so ill.

Thank you.
