Welcome! Looking forward to your posts around the board.
Some of us are here asking lots of questions (like me!) and some are further along in their journey so they are great advisors. I've found great support here. I don't know what I would have done without it actually. Found these guys about six weeks after injury and have been posting ever since. (Now at 4 months)
A true testament to how being here affects my recovery: I have iced my neck DAILY sometimes multiple times a day thanks to Mark's advice, and truly believe this has helped me... Yet not one doctor, specialist nor physiotherapist mentioned it.
I've also made great connections with many types/ages of people going through the same struggles, and really bonded with a few moms!

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!
