Thanks!
I'm really nervous. Two hours til the appointment.
I hope you guys can "hear" the humour intended in parts of my post, because I really feel no choice but to smile at this journey. I used to write a blog, maybe I should start again.
Not once has my husband been told he is choosing to feel stress, since his heart attack. They take the tissue damage of his heart seriously.
I'm just floored that a brain gets no such medical respect at all.
In 20 years I hope retired doctors say to themselves "omg I wish I'd known, I'd have helped so many people" once there is enough evidence by stronger testing or something, that PCS is not just a fabricated syndrome.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.
NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.
About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
