Go to Emerg or to a walk in... you'll have much younger docs usually, and they are so overloaded, they WANT to give referrals.

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong.

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.

That's my plan for tomorrow, if today's appointment with the nurse practitioner doesn't work out. I've had disappointing experiences with her in the past, so I'm not holding much hope. Her thing is she doesn't like to prescribe any drugs because "they will damage your liver"... which is fine, but I have no liver issues or history of liver issues or anything like that. Weird

Appointment with nurse practitioner went better than I hoped. She put me on prednisone for 6 days. Hope that will reduce my itch enough to sleep again. Getting pretty exhausted.

Pharmacist said prednisone might raise blood pressure and make headaches worse, so I'm hoping that won't happen. Will keep monitoring blood Pressure at home as I have been for last month.

Thanks to all.
