I have also enjoyed this site. My doctor just gives me a weird look every time I say I feel the same as before. Like it's unusual. I'll see what they say this afternoon when I see them again

I went the the ER for a spider bite the other night and the young doctor there when I told him I'm 8 months in to PCS looked at me strange and said "You should have been done with that concussion after 1 month. Here's our neurology dept. number." Now first of all PCS obviously does not last just 1 month. Second of all it's alarming to think there may be something ELSE wrong with you that's a total mystery. All I can conclude is that this young doc new nothing about PCS and thought he did. So your doctor is not the only one who gives you weird looks because he doesn't realize what a haul PCS is. BUT my mom went to see a nurse practitioner at her doctor's and when she heard I had PCS she flatly stated "I'm so sorry to hear it! That's 1-2 years of mood swings and symptoms." That would have terrified me at the start but now at least I know it's a long haul, but not indefinite.
