Talking This Is It PROGRESS Report
I have been knee deep with PCS knocking on 2 years now.After wanting to give up so many times or relapsing over and over.Threw all the up's and down's.This is my progress report lol

1.I showed great result with vestibular therapy/dizziness very min not often
2.My headaches are a lot better with the medication
3.I do not feel as much fatigue opposite kind of hyper(like my body is tired of being down for so long)
4.I am know doing 20 Hard exercises for physical therapy
5.I do whatever I can help on my own with cognitive impairments
6.I have learned how to read my body
7.I know the difference between pushing and pushing to much
8.I feel sooooooo much more stable from medicine
9.I know the different feelings of stress,anxiety,depression,pain
10.I avoid all confrontation or stresser's
11.I have a better attitude from PTSD Psychologist help
12.I know how to interact with people better now from PTSD Psychologist
13.I am starting to remember more I believe from reading more
14.I found good results in acupuncture
15.I am lite jogging/walking 3 times a day now (Good pain)
16.I am a nicer,patient,understanding person
17.My sense of humor makes my M.D.s smile (since they are my BFF's lol)

What I need to start working on
1.Medication might not be able to every get off antidepressants cause I have major depression.
2.Getting my daughter back healthy (she isolated herself with me)
3.Keep working my body physically harder (to avoid surgeries neck,back)
4.Still waiting to get a final answer from Jaw M.D. so I can take care of it
5.Getting into cognitive therapy sooner than later

~*~The progress has been in the last 6month's since I did not find out I had a TBI until a year and half after accident.It has been a long road threw hell.I wanted to give up so many times but I kept hope,faith, and stayed strong.I have become a different person for the better.It is like the saying after the storm there will be a rainbow.I made it through this nightmare storm from almost 2 years now.Well it all comes down to it I have several M.D.s to give me direction and guidance.BUT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD DO THIS!No M.D. or therapist could do this for me.I learn or relearn new things everyday!I hope everyone finds this inspiring to know that it will get better in time and determination.~*~

Have a wonderful spring day~*~I am Blessed for every new day
