Hello, I know how frustrating it is to not be taken seriously. I had an employee health doctor tell me I did not have PCS, there was NO WAY I could have hit my head hard enough to give myself a concussion and tried to dismiss my case. I managed to find a nurse practitioner within my employee health system who took me much more seriously. She helped me get a referral to a neurologist who said I did, in fact, have PCS. If you have options to see a different doctor or NP within your employee health framework that may help. Otherwise, I would agree with one of the previous replies to get yourself an attorney. You need some assistance and some time to heal. Good luck!
