New doctor, also had TBI- validated my symptoms
 

This past week I had an appointment with my primary care doctor, for a follow-up to the TBI. I am sure that they made the appt. for me with this girl because she also had aTBI.

It was nice to talk to someone that had been in the "same boat" and knew that I wasn't making these symptoms up. She told me symptoms may fade only to come back sometime in the future, which has happened to me.

They gave me relpax for my migraines, which now happen 3 or 4 times a week if not more. When I get stressed, that's the first place that feels it, and if I don't get the headache in time, it turns into a migraine. (I teach kindergarten and that can happen alot.)

I also have days when anything that is said just annoys me.

I have a note for the mental fog and related issues that states,"the symptoms could last for a few weeks or a few months"

Although I still have PCS symptoms, my hope is that everyone finds a special medical professional that can help them make sense of all of this.

TMQ,

Glad to hear you found a doc who understands. It is like you found a doctor who speaks your language.

Hope she has some good ideas to share with the rest of us.

We can always dream.

My best to you.

That is SO incredibly awesome. Really amazing.

I think it is always great to get a medical professional who has had your diagnosis because they can relate to you as more than just a textbook list of symptoms. Lots more empathy!!

Can you say a little more about the relpax? Is it a preventive that you take daily, or something that you take when the headache is coming on?
