PCSLearner,

I remember those days of running into door jambs and the corners of walls, many shoulder bruises.

Then my neuro prescribed too much phenobarbital and it got worse. I would try to turn as I walked and my body would keep going the same direction even though I had turned my body. I would end up stumbling along until I could get my orientation back.

My mind wanted to change direction but my body did not want to follow.

Now, this is a rare occurrence.

... No officer, I am not drunk. I did not have any alcohol.....

I almost failed a roadside sobriety test once. I could not keep track of my steps (supposed to take ten), track the sidewalk crack, and turn around without looking like a klutz.

The cop was just taking a statistical shot on Christmas day evening. Who would not have some alcohol in their system at 9:00 at night. Not me, I have PCS and the doctor said to not consume alcohol.

To make matters worse, I have a bit of horizontal gaze nystagmus in my left eye.

Good thing there is no DWPCS. Driving With Post Concussion Syndrome.
