mimi,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. The experience you have described is quite common to many here. WC only makes PCS worse as the doctors try to tell you that you are the problem and you need to just get over it. 15% of concussions cause prolonged symptoms. NeuroPsych Docs often have biases against Prolonged PCS and can make life miserable.

Your high fever can be considered another concussion. It causes a similar insult to the brain.

Let us know how we can help. There are lots of experienced and knowledgeable people here with good skills with work-arounds and accommodations for dealing with PCS symptoms.

Thank you for using lots of paragraph spaces so those of us with visual struggles can read you posts. Long posts without paragraph spaces can be impossible to read.

My best to you.
