After a really crappy week physically and mentally dealing with PCS and PTSD all I want to do is throw in the towel. What do you do to keep positive and keep moving ahead?

What happened: Date of the car accident 3/23/11. I was a passenger in a car that was stopped waiting to turn into a parking lot that was hit by a drunk driver going at least 40mph. The drunk driver was let go. I suffered a TBI, concussion and whiplash. Current symptoms: PCS, depression, Brain fog, anxiety, short-term and confusion, slowed processing of information, insomnia/sleep disurbances, migraines that last over 30+ days, sensitivity to light and sound, trouble thinking, word finding difficulties, and making decisions. I am also suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Rehab: Been through physical rehab, still in cognative rehab, currently in therapy for depression and PSTD, first neurologist is out of ideas for me and referred me to Cleveland Clinic. Currently on Topamax, Zoloft, Amitriptyline. Did several IV rounds & shots of DHD without any success of relief of headaches. DosePro shots also didn't work. Looking to try alternative medicines now. |
