Default New member intro

Have been reading for some time and wanted to ask some questions.

Background
Was rear ended about 2 years ago. Had vertigo, nystagmus, balance issues, brain fog, not feeling myself, extreme nausea. Had vestibular therapy for several months which helped with the nausea.

Haven't been diagnosed with anything except PTSD so was sent to a psychiatrist for a year which hasn't helped at all. Honestly, I think the Dr's thought I was exaggerating. Well trying to get back to normal life has been anything but. A friend recently asked me if I thought I had some frontal lobe damage. I said no but after researching, it sounded like me.

So off I went to the Dr to get diagnosed. No one wants to diagnose me with PCS/TBI. I am going to a neuropysch soon but I'm really worried that it will be inconclusive. The Dr keeps saying PTSD and depression.

I have cognitive issues, memory issues,balance issues which they say are symptons of PTSD/depression.

Has anyone else have these issues? What should I do. I'm about to lose my job because I have been on sick leave for so long.
