Going backwards?
 
Had a concussion (well, my OT says it was two as I was rear ended twice) in late March, went through PT, vestibular therapy and OT, mentally I felt better, maybe 70% better.

Last night something happened, I suddenly couldn't think properly, I knew where I was but couldn't speak properly, my head felt "weird". Kept telling my husband something is wrong, don't leave me.

Today I went for a walk and my eyes felt as though they were bouncing all over the place, could not keep my eyes still, it scared me a lot. Also I felt as though I was going to fall over, this is how it was for months but it got better.

Has anyone experienced this?

Since the accident my pupils don't stay small when a light in shone on them, so don't know if that's anything.

My Dr. had made an appt. to see a neurologist but that was in the middle of a suicidal depression and I could not go. I know I need to go.

Thank you for any help.

This can simply be a relapse due to a stressor that you do not realize. You could also have a hormone issue.

You said "Since the accident my pupils don't stay small when a light in shone on them, so don't know if that's anything." This is a very difficult test to do on yourself or even have a non-professional do. Avoid using this to self-diagnose.

Go see the neurologist.

As Mark mentioned, please don't hesitate go see the doctors and get it sorted out...please go.
