It is very difficult for me to respond to eddyx77. You bear a terrible burden. I am in my my 4th year. Luckily I had great doctors (all but one). My GP sent me to a good neurologist. A neurologist may run many test to rule out non-PCS problems, but his great contribution was sending me to cognitive therapy. Then to a competent neuropsychiatrist.
I had learned a lesson in a terrible fashion. A decade before my accident my ex-wife had a brain injury due to toxic chemical exposure. I hope I don't sound cruel, but this beautiful and talented woman seemed to embrace he disease, not deal with it. She refused cognitive therapy, seeming to dismiss its value. She developed Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
The end result, she left me to find a new life, but hers has turned into a disaster. Her self-treatment rests on alcohol.
When my injury was diagnosed as PCS, I vowed to seek the best doctors and undergo the best treatment. I won't work again, ever. But I do hope to wake up each day looking for progress. I hope you follow much of the advice on this Board and work towards physical and mental improvement. Take joy where you can find it, small steps forward. And take comfort in adapting as well you can to this horrible injury.
