annamoore - thank you so much! I think stories of complete recovery are harder to find, since eventually, those who are recovered move on, and away from these types of boards... I am incredibly grateful that you did pop in... I like to think of myself as a hopeful person, and this simply bolsters those thoughts...

Starr - Hoping you see my reply here, since I'm also following your thread on the rash... I really think you should hit a walk in, and get a referral from there. Tell them that you've let your Pdoc go because his knowledge of concussions isn't up to date. LEt them know that this issue has been going on for far too long... the longer you wait for a referral the longer the wait is, since even for me, (and my referral happened a few weeks ago) I have to wait another three months!

I too try to do the "one thing a day" idea... For me it is hard... I'm starting a lawsuit against the school where I fell, and my work is only about a five minute drive from my home... I always feel like if I go out, that my work will think I am faking, or if the school hires a detective that my doing my single errand for the day will be negatively construed.... I rarely leave my house without my husband in general, unless its for doctors appointments... Which is fine, since I am not really overly comfortable driving to begin with...

Anyways, just wanted to let you know that I understand where you are coming from, and I love that we both have such positive attitudes.... with any luck we will both recover sooner rather than later...

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
