So at the end of July I was in a car accident. The police officer who arrived on the scene barely asked if I was okay and never offered a ambulance, even though I was complaining of neck pain and rubbing my neck. He ignored me, obviously throwing me with the reckless teenagers and was more concerned with the older lady who actually was the cause of the accident. She turned left when there was a UPS truck blocking my car from sight.
Anyway after getting my car towed I had a friend drive me to the walk in clinic. Who said I didn't have a concussion and gave me ibuprofen 800s and a muscle relaxer that made me sick. I dealt with the headaches thinking they were from the whiplash but when they got to the point where I felt like my head was exploding I went to the ER. The kept me for several hours and CT scan before saying that I had post concussion syndrome and should follow up with my regular doctor. They did give me pain meds for the headache. When I called my regular doctor I found out she was moving and was unable to see me. This mad me really mad and I refused to see one of the other doctors in the office and figured that it would just go away. My treatment for just about anything.
Now however it's not going away. I'm getting dizzy spells, my neck still hurts, in fact my body just generally aches, I'm nauseous, sometimes it takes for ever for me to think of the word or thought that I need. My eyes feel funny like they won't focus, and even as I write this I'm going to need a break because it's making my head hurt. I can't concentrate on anything for too long without making my head kill.
I'm depressed, and while I have enough going on in my life without the PCS to make me depressed, this isn't helping and I'm no longer able to cope with and calmly think about the stressors in my life, making me agitated and more easily depressed.
I'll have random pains, usually where I was once hurt. Or my heart beats fast, or feels like it's going to beat it's way out of my chest. And I'm cold all the time, now I realize that I'm in Michigan and it's getting colder out, but it is not rational for me to be cold unless I can hear the furnace running, even if the thermostat is turned up to 80. Thankfully I live alone or I would of over heated anyone else.
I find it hard to sleep, and often wake up in the middle of the night. It takes hours for me to fall asleep, and when I'm completely still my legs feel tingly and restless. My ears ring unless I have a little noise running in the background, yet sometimes even the sound of my dog breathing is enough to make my head kill. Light also makes my head go nuts.

I guess what I'm looking for is how do you cope? How do you function when all this is going on and you feel so overwhelmed you just want to lay in bed all day? I'm trying to find a new doctor and go in to see them, but so far no luck as most doctors in my area are coping with my regular doctor moving and all her patients needing new doctors.

So until I get into a doctor is there anything I can do to help with this?
