Confused Here for Husband with PCS, constant headaches for 2 years

Hi, I stumbled upon your board while I was searching a new Dr. for my husband to see. He was hit by a car going 55 and even though he was in his huge Ford F350, the truck spun around so violently that he ended up with a "roller coaster" type concussion. He was fine that day, but the symptoms hit the following day and every day since. On Oct. 8th it will be 2 years of non-stop severe headaches. He has tried nearly everything in his quest to find a cure. He has been seeing the same neurologist this whole time but is just now going to HCNC in Minneapolis next tuesday. He is on the maximum dose of Gabapentin allowed. He takes these pills everywhere and takes them like 6 times a day. Without them his headaches get unbearable and then he's playing catch-up for days. He says these drugs only take the edge off never fully alleviating the pain which is mainly pressure behind his eyes. He's tried SSRI's, Chiropractic, Accupuncture, botox, Specialized massage therapy on small muscles in his neck and skull, etc. He has not tried any herbal remedies. This is affecting not only his life but mine and the kids as well. He will not take time off of work as he is a major work-a-holic. He never gave his head time to heal or rest after the initial accident. He has the classic other symptoms too of not finding the right words, loss of concentration, anger, etc. Just looking for any ideas or things to try. Worried that after 2 years this will be his new "normal"....
