Hi everyone,

Have been reading the advice on here so thought it would be a good idea to join and introduce myself

Am dealing with PCS symptoms a month after getting concussion. I managed to bang my head on a low ceiling at home (yes, it is a little embarrassing to admit this..!).

It's been difficult but today I am back at work on reduced hours and this feels like a major achievement. I'm really hoping this doesn't set me back as I seem to have almost-good days followed by extra bad ones....

Anyway, I have a question...

There seems to be some opinion out there (on the web) that there are pre-disposing psychological factors as to whether or not people get PCS, i.e. stress, tendency to depression etc. What do people think about this? When I first read it I was not impressed as I thought there is no way that something that feels this physically bad can have 'psychological' factors as part of its cause but thinking about this now I do fit the profile if I'm honest....And maybe this is one of those 'wake up' calls.....

I also found that GP's here seem to have little or no knowledge at all about PCS. At one point I was told that my CT scan was fine so I probably have a virus, how crazy is that?! Have people found much knowledge out there about PCS when trying to get help?

Hi, fellow suffer.

I am not sure about all people with PCS. But I can say that I probably
would fit into the category you stated. If I understand it. But more
because I care about others, and worry about them.

So its a stressful life some days. But that to me is good.
I have had PCS for many years. But long before it was given this name.
I would stake my life on. I had a issue as a child with falling.

But I am doing good because I make life let me. Yes there are bad days,
with the good.

Please come introduce yourself in the PCS room.
