Have you tried asking your primary care physician? I would blatantly state that you have tried everything and wanted a trial of a medication to help with sleep (or anxiety) whichever seems to be the bigger culprit....it doesnt hurt to be straight and ask for what you need.
And i understand about the personal care part. I am so exhausted some days, i will not be able to shower for 2 or 3 days sometimes. Its not that i forget....i just cant initiate the sequence and get it done. I probably wash my hair every 3 or 4 days (which is gross for me....i used to do it everyday) and its cause my head is so sensitive i dont want to brush or blow dry it.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
