Hi - after my first concussion I was convinced I had everything from West Nile Virus to MS and beyond. All of the symptoms I was experiencing just were so distressing and I needed to find a reason. I visited all sorts of specialists and meanwhile my anxiety was spiraling out of control. Many months later, after finding a good physical therapist to work with my head and neck, I started get some pain relief and came to the realization that my entire system had been out of whack due to PCS.
Now here I am with concussion #2. It's rough going, but I do believe in time things will improve. Hang in there and know that you are alone!
