Hi Letta. I am sorry you are having to deal with these issues. I had a similar work injury with almost the same diagnosis and I am still unable to work or drive and my injury was in October of last year.

Have you let the doctor who released you know you are still having difficulties? Working and still being dizzy, feeling ill is not a good combination! Concussion related injuries can take a long time to heal.

Getting the pain under control from trauma induced headaches has been one of my biggest problems.

Don't settle for feeling how you are now, get another opinion.

Hi,

I too have had daily headache and other symptoms with PCS - my neurologist put me on a couple of pain packs over the early months and they did help overall in the intensity. I also take a mile anti-depressent for sleep related issues. I have been taking aricept for a bout 45 days for cognitive issues and last night was the first time I can remember actualy having a dream. It was very vivid but I only remember about 1 min and a woke shortly after. The whole PCS thing seems to take months so stay diligent with treatment. I am by no means back to normal but the dream made it feel like my brain me starting to recircuit itsself. Has anyone else had effects from this med and treating with short term mem and cog issued after TBI?

I have PCS and I have been treated with topomax for my headaches and it has made a huge difference. It has been 2yrs 9mos and counting.....,new person,,
different personality, slow processing, poor memory etc.......
