Hi, I was wondering who the Dr.'s were that really understood your situation? I'm in the Boston area and have been dealing with my son's PCS symptoms and had also had condescending judgement from Children's Hospital Boston neurologists. It's been very frustrating finding people who really understand concussions and it's aftermath. Thanks for any help you could provide.

The simple fact of the matter is that you have to treat the symptoms, and if the sypmtoms are screaming PCS what harm are you doing by following that protocol? Maybe there is a migrane med to consider and even trial, but I don't see how the possibility of PCS can be ignored. Stick with your gut. If you don't like your doctors, don't be afraid to move on. We withstood the condescending judgement of 2 ER docs and a specialist at Children's hospital in Boston before we found docs who really knew what they were talking about.
