Speech pathologist isn't what is sounds like in this case. She's helping my daughter with new ways to learn/remember things. Basic memory tricks and more mundane stuff like relevant note-taking in class. My daughter too was only allowed limited classes after weeks of no school. Neurologist actually at one time said the best thing would be lights off laying down in her room with regular meals and the Flintstones on TV.

BTW-Trazadone is a wonderful "sleepy-time" medicine that you should ask your doctor about. Sleep is of upmost importance right now.

The getting better, then worse, is a sign that he's trying to do too much too fast. Common in athletes. Slow him down & back him up in the recovery process when that happens. That's another place where the Trazadone comes in. It's an anti-depressant, but prescribed in very small doses. Sort of fills in the cracks in the mind that says he should be "doing" something.

For the sinus stuff, get a good ENT spcialist. They may do a CTscan in addition to the MRI. The sinus thing was a part of our puzzle too. And keep this in mind: you are dealing with specialists. They tend to look within their specialty to find the answers. Sometimes the answers are outside their specialty. If your boy says sinus, nose, teeth, anything else other than head, listen to him and MAKE THE DOCTORS LISTEN. And finally...a VAST majority of the time, the symptoms go away. It takes time and rest.
