shorty,

Sorry to hear of your struggles. You are not alone here. What you are experiencing is very common with PCS. It will help if you can find ways to relax and get away from the stress of your job.

Is there any way you can get some time off or even an assistant to help you at work?

You will likely be able to get State Disability Insurance. California's program is a good safety net.

Stress is counter to any recovery. You need good sleep and nutrition. The brain needs to rest because this is the only time when it can heal.

If you are concerned about your job, you have the credentials to become a specialist in the dynamics of concussion is family life. There is a huge void in services available to families/caregivers of TBI/mTBI/concussion subjects.

Go to www.tbiguide.com Down load and print out the TBI Survival Guide. It is as good as it gets. It should help you understand how to moderate your life and job to help you go on.

If you can post yopur specific symptoms and struggles, there are lots of experienced PCS sufferers who can help you.

My best to you.
