Very new to posting in this format - I had a slip and fall accident resulting in a concussion on 11/4/2011. Persistent headaches, blurry vision, brain fog ever since. Post Concussion Syndrome with PTSD diagnosed. Feels like headaches will never end. Dr. has me on enough medications, anti inflammatory, pain, depression, headaches but little seems to work. Most is some relief - taking the edge off the pain to make it somewhat tolerable. In the state of mind where I really don't know what to do next...

EJ,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your head aches and other symptoms sound normal for PCS.

What is the PTSD diagnosis about?

What drugs does your doctor have you on?

PCS can be difficult but with a wild mix of drugs, it can be difficult to tell the PCS symptoms from the drug side-effects.

Are you doing anything with diet and nutrition to help your brain?

Also, are you avoiding caffeine, alcohol and MSG?

What kind of doctor are you seeing?


My best to you.

Good Idea...
 

Ok, here's mine (I hope):

I'm not the one with the concussion (but I'm certain from the last 4 months the symptoms are contagious LOL) BUT I cannot find the "signature" section. anyone point me in the right direction?

Hope I did not offend anyone with my initial comment, none meant! I just haven't had a full night's sleep or needed answers myself and am mentally exhausted.

New members cannot make signatures until they pass a brief
approval time. Just keep posting some and you will be eligible.

The signature function is in your CP (profile) at the left of the top bar of each page.

worried_mom,

I posted detailed instructions on the first page of this thread on how to setup your signature. If you have any trouble figuring it out once your no longer a "New Member", just refer to my post.

Time to top post this again.

We have a lot of new members, so I thought I would bump this to the top.

I think it is a great idea, and I am overwhelmed by the terrible, sometimes so 'trivial' or random things that have happened to people and the terrible suffering as a result. I was unable to write for over a year, but read a lot of these posts, which were so helpful. I can write now but I think there is an emotional trauma in putting it all down on paper! I will do that, though, as soon as I can!

Bump to the top for new members.
