I am in Australia so we don't have the football injuries and the concussion research over here. One neurologist I saw said it would disappear soon. The other said it was PTSD (but is known for working with workers comp). They were for opinions only not treatment.

Work has asked me to prove I am fit to work. So have to see other specialists for more opinions. I am so tired of this as I'm sure you would all understand.
That does complicate things.

FMLA is only USA, sorry.

Australia pllays by its own ruleset.

Still can't believe they are not aware of the research thats out there.
