Yanniemac,
Hey, I'd like to begin by first & foremost expressing my congratulations to you in your abilities to accept & learn from your experiences in dealing with PCS. I think that's awesome you were able to find the resources necessary for your recovery!!
I can't speak for anyone else who visits this site & reads these forums, however, I can speak for myself. I have to admit that when it comes to me & efforts, I'm the first to say that I use this site to gain access to useful resources, tools & information, pertaining to me & my recovery as you have sucessfully done.
I didn't have a clue in the world about biofeedback counseling until I saw the name in one of these posts. I also didn't know I could actually have certain types of tests performed to show what areas of my brain were actually effected by my injuries.
I know this might sound a bit silly, but I actually thought for a long time, my doctor was a quack for sending me to a "back & spine institute" for a blow to the head! (several actually) not to mention him sending me to an "eye specialist".
I remember embarrasing the snot out of my entire family, just recently, when I looked at my doctor & said, "wtf's wrong with you boy?? .. how are you gonna sit there, with a serious look on your damn face, and tell me to get my damn eyes checked, when I was the blows where in the "back" of my head, that's no where near my damn eyes!".
I guess what I'm trying to say is that before I personally could actually even begin to believe there was such a thing as PCS, I had to do what I was trained to do. I had to "investigate" the issue in order to find some sort of proof & evidence PCS even existed ..WOW!!
Lol, at least now I know #1, doc might not be such a quack after-all (thank god his "investigation" response time was quicker than mine!) & #2, I have a new found respect for the brain and all the mysteries it holds.
Best of Luck to your continued success in recovery. As I also agree that anything's possible & healing begins to take place from with-in when you begin to approach it in a more positive way!
