Mark, I have not filed a comp claim, nor do I desire to do so. My major concern is getting better and I believe litigation would be detrimental to my health at this point. For me to do so would concede defeat to the enemy PCS. A lot of times I am frustrated and feel overwhelmed. Never have I felt clinically depressed as a result of my injury. My major problems are poor memory, headaches, tinnitus, dizziness and insomnia with hypersomnia at times. I also have some sensitivity to bright lights and have experienced episodes of outright rage over petty issues like a bill dispute with my cell phone carrier that shocked my wife.

Perhaps I'm in denial, but I really do not want to think of this as a long term situation and would rather discuss ways to get better than ways to get a disability rating. At 47 I feel much to young to accept a permanent disability.
