Im so sorry that you have to go through workmans comp with such a severe issue as PCS. I cant imagine the frustration with their process when you need specialists now. I am also a nurse. I am 4 months post PCS. Unconscious for 12 hours. I just went back to work in the ICU 3 weeks ago. Before i went back i felt pretty good, now i am having my setback (which i expected) and it is so difficult to deal with. My days off are spent recovering and feeling off and the nights i work are pretty tough as well.

I understand how you feel with the social anxiety aspect and not feeling like yourself. Ive had issues where i was speaking with a doctor and suddenly become aphasic or stutter, and im suddenly very uncomfortable and awkward and nervous. Im sure they dont even notice and probably think im just tired. But i take it to heart and feel like im an idiot. Its hard to explain this to other people or so that they understand that you are not well yet. My neurologist was so insightful and said to me the hardest thing i will encounter is that I look good....but no one will understand that my brain is not well. She was right.

Im wishing you the best of luck in your situation and hoping you find a balance that you feel comfortable with and doctors who can help with your recovery. And you are not alone....we are all here for you!
