Scott,

The neuro who doubted a concussion because you did not lose consciousness is ignorant of concussion. I bet he is old. His information is very old to the point of being like an old wives tale. The vast majority of concussions do not include LOC.

The IDC-9 and IDC-10 codes include a number of concussion diagnoses that do not include LOC.

Welcome to the club of the informed being examined by the uninformed.

Mist,

Sounds like the doctor was more interested in teaching or acting like he was teaching his interns that digging into your condition. The referral to an ear specialist is hopeful. There are plenty who have come through NT who have had good result with Vestibular diagnostics and therapy. Don't sell yourself short.

Hope you have a better experience with PTSD treatment than I did. The therapist tried to convince me that those who assaulted me had their own valid reasons and if I accepted that, I would get better. The cure would have been worse than the disease.
