You're probably right. However, my doctor is very stubborn about many things and does not believe any of my lingering issues (light and noise sensitivities, headaches, dizziness, periods of anger, over reaction to emotional situations, tiredness) could possibly be related to my concussion. His rationale is that it happened 9 weeks ago and is now done and over with.
He refused to make a referral, both for my concussion and for my skin rash. I am in the process of trying to switch to another doc in the same practice, but its taking time. First he was booked up and I waited 2 weeks for an appointment. Then when I told him what was going on, he just sort of "hmm"ed and suggested giving it another couple weeks to see if there was improvement.
What I didn't know was that the following week he was going on vacation for a month. So I'm stuck with my old doc, who really needs to retire.
So wait, wait, wait. Story of my life right now!
