PCS - 3 months
Hi all. I was in a car accident on February 26, 2012. I got a concussion from the whiplash - even though I wasn't symptomatic until a few days later.
My GP referred me to a neurologist, who put me on midodrine to raise my already low BP. He also said I could have as much caffeine as I wanted. It seemed to help for a while, but then it just started giving me tension headaches. Now I'm off the midodrine and am not drinking any more caffeine. I'm not so sure I trust my neurologist, but am not sure who else I would see.
I'm at 3months out and while I tried to work part time for a while, I didn't really feel like I was healing quickly enough, so I'm back out until the end of the month.
I'm doing a little bit of light yoga in the morning and taking walks at night - being very careful not to overdo it and they both seem to be helping.
Any tips from anyone who has recovered from PCS? I feel like I'm progressing, but I'm getting impatient as I'm getting more and more removed from my normal life. How long did it take?
