Hi
I am new here and am looking for someone to understand what I am going through!!!
I was rear ended pretty bad the end of Feb. since then I was treated by work comp. doc for buldging discs. in neck and severe non stop migraines. since I have a migraine history they just kept saying it intensified mine. They were giving me so many narcitics migraine neds and muscle relaxers I did not realize that the brain fog, falling a sleep as soon as i sat down, difficulty finding my words, and cocentrating, were anything but med related.

After 8 weeks Iasked for a second opinion and was sent to my neuro surgeon I also have a 2 level lumbar sacral fusion. he said my neck was whip lash and would be fine but was more concerened about my headaches. asked me questions about memory, recall, moods. etc... and refered me to the concussion center.

One week later I was diagnosed with post concussion syndrome with cognitive impairment and gait issues, and was sent to OT and PT therapy.

last week I had my evals there and could not believe how poorly I did on the cognitive testing. I am worse then I even realized!!! this scares me to death.

I am going into week 10 now I thought I would be back to work weeks ago and now I am begining to wonder if I will ever be able to go back!!!!

I am a Pediatric Critical Care Nurse. In this condition there is no way I can do my job not to mention the amount of meds I am taking to try to get relief for my headaches.

I am still waiting to see neuro mayme they can find the right med cocktail for my headaches!!!!

also I am dealing with work. comp issues I was on my way home from a home visit for my second job when this happened, now they want to deny my work comp. gotta love it.

I know this is long today just needed to vent and tell my story
