I fell down a flight of stairs 4 months ago... long story short, I have pcs and a herniated disc in neck, did pt for neck, thought it was better and now the recurring symtoms of tightness, achyness, throbbing pain from ear, neck, jaw, back &shoulder come and go. emotionally i feel not my self... i was probably 'clinically depressed' before the accident (takign well butrin) but now i am lost sometimes, cranky, mood swings, sometimes i feel like i am on speed and super focused on stupid things and other times just laying around like a bump on a log and cant get up. i am on wellbutrin and lamictal now. seeing no difference in my mental health. i still get confused, short term memory loss, headaches, problems in crowded place, driving, light sensitivity etc... is it possible this is a permanant thing? i also tried remembering back from my childhood until now and realize i have probably had a few (not diagnosed ) concussions. i am 45 yrs old, female, mother of 4 (21, 19, 13, 11) and used to be vp of a nationwide company, very busy life, i am a type a person always busy busy bsy multitasking pro. now i am blah. i havent worked since it happened and could not even imagine balancing my job, home, kids, bills, dinner, etc etc... my kids help ALOT. I feel like this is me now financially i am starting to worry... is this or is it possible it would be a permanant disability? what to do?
