Ok............. I get it.

No. I am not making fun.

I do understand.

My nutshell in my sig tells alot about me.

I was finally at a point in my 45 year career, that I could finally setup planning to assure my retirement....... plan out all my goals.......... the first time ever in all my career.

That got changed on that glorious day in June of 2010. Even though I tried to "push" through for a few years - it worsened and I finally failed outright and acknowledged that I should have just went out earlier on disabilty and tried the other route first.......... but either way, my docs said, I'd probably be at this same point..........

The headaches, the cognitive issues, the "everything" running its course as it will and working out plans with therapies as issues arise and need addressing.

We all do go through them, as they arise...........

Hang in there, address what arises, and we are all here for each other.

Have a look at the Vitamin / Supplement link as suggested.

Address you neck issues for sure - Ice works well, I'm sure Mark will be on shortly to advise you there, he has a nice formula for making your own ice packs, and offers good information.

Check into Brainline.org for very useful information.

Make sure you are keeping contact with a good Neurologist or Physiatrist for your injuries - they will provide useful care for Neurological issues re: concussion, whiplash, mtbi, etc.

And, yes, anytime you believe you have more problems than they think you have, be sure to voice your concerns to them - and vent your concerns here - patients seem to be more aware than the practitioners in the real world these days when it comes to concussions/pcs/mtbi issues..... and there are many of us doing much more investigations on available literature.

Medication update: Topamax 200mg twice daily it seems to minimize daily headaches to a 1-2/10 quality(I still know they are there); and acute headaches erupt without warnings.
