PtboHi,

Sorry to hear about your struggles. Sounds like classic PCS to me. I would suggest asking the neuro about getting a good vestibular exam and possible vestibular therapy. There are others on hear who have more experience with vestibular therapy. You might search vestibular and read the posts.

Other than a vestibular therapy recommendation, I would not expect much from the neuro. PCS is difficult to treat. Some have benefited from vision therapy. Again, search vision therapy to find the posts. PCS mostly takes time. Download and read Dr Johnson's TBI Guide at http://www.drakecenter.com/file.axd?...vivalGuide.pdf He has the best resource online.

If you are a woman, sometimes hormones can get out of kilter from a head impact. It takes a good specialist to help with hormones. Bio-identical hormones can be a Godsend if they are needed. The brand name and generic hormone substitutes can be problematic compared to bio0identical.

Try to be objective about symptoms. Wining can get the doctors on the wrong path. A neuro-psych assessment may be called for if your memory/cognitive symptoms persist. The NP Assessment can help you with back to work decisions.

Hope this helps.

My best to you.
