I wanted to thank everyone for the support. I hope to hear back from my SSDI application soon. I am not sure how involved other peoples neuropsychologists were with them but mine just did the report and explained my problems to me and I have not seen him since. He did suggest filing for social security. Does anyone know if there is any point in seeking out different doctors. Is there really anything that can be done? My psychiatrist does help me manage the anxiety and depression.

Kelly-

What symptoms are you still experiencing?

After finding a neuropsych who dealt mostly with TBI, I've been blessed to start getting the help I need. He referred me to vestibular therapy, physical therapy, a physical medicine and rehab dr, and vision therapy. All of these things have helped to improve my quality of life!

Vestibular therapy: Working with a therapist, I have been able to improve my balance and get rid of the 24/7 feeling of dizziness and nausea any time I moved my head, was in a car, or did anything physically with my body.

Phsyical Therapy: Many of my headaches are related to a neck injury that I incurred during the accident. This has helped to get my spine where it need to be, so my muscles are where they need to be and can actually support my head and neck again, rather then being locked up and pulling on the base of my brain/skull.

Physical Medicine and Rehab Dr: Prescribed medicines to help clear some of the mental fogginess, sleep medicine to help alleviate the insomnia, a medicine to work to try to prevent migraines, and an antidepressant/anti anxiety med. (I'm not generally a pill popper, but did some research and all seemed worth a shot to me, if I could feel better)

Vision Therapy: I now have a pair of glasses that help to filter out fluorscent light so that I'm not bothered nearly as bad by light sensitivity. I am also working with a therapist to get my eyes working together again, as I have some visual difficulties post accident.

I am by no means, suggesting any of this as a course of action for anyone. This is just whats working for me.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, regardless of symptoms there are things that can be done to help you rehab and feel better.

Wishing you the best

tell us more about the glasses that filter out the fluorscent light...are they colored? are they working well...and are they prescription? Do you find they help with night driving and the lights coming at you?

I am picking them up this weekend at Vision therapy. Yes, they are perscription. As they were explained to me, they have a film to help filter out the blue wavelengths of fluorescent light, (which I guess is what bugs people with light sensitivity?)

I'm not really driving yet, except short distances and not at night. But the anti-glare coating that is also on them, I would imagine would help with that.

For me, I wanted something that would make a computer screen more tolerable and also that I could wear indoors, so I didn't look crazy in my big dark sunglasses at the grocery store, at restaurants, etc.

I can post tomorrow once I get them and let you know what I think.
