The problem with PCS and the medical profession is two fold.

First, there are not any standard ways to diagnose and differentiate from other causes. There are not imaging studies, MRI, CT, etc that will show the damage.

Second, there is not a lot that the medical professionals can do that is hands on or involves supporting Big Pharma.

Add to that the many biases against concussion such as, if you did not lose consciousness, you did not suffer a concussion, etc and the medical profession is not much use to those of us with PCS.

So, we help each other.

My best to you.
