Had follow up nuero visit today. Had a few new symptoms and one improvement. My one improvement was not having every day end in a severe migrain. Still start every day with a headache and end every day with that same headache.

While I got some explanation to some of whats going on. I am still having back and neck pain. The nuero I am seeing has not and did not address those issues at all. At the end of the visit I asked If he thought my treatment might surpass 180 days.

I fully expect my employer to terminate me if that happens. I have seen them do this repeatedly. So I need to move money if that happens. I am very close to the 90 day mark

The nuero told me he expects to release me back to work in thirty days. I still have every symptom except one, daily migraines. I am unsure how he anticipates such a huge recovery in 30 days?!?!

Still a novice here and have seen some heart rending stories. I guess this is my day in the barrel.

Sounds like you need to be seen by a physiatrist. They are listed under Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A neuro is not going to help with your other problems.

I wish I had understood your situation. A physiatrist would have been recommended long ago.

rmschaver,

Is this a work related accident? That would explain a few things about your neuro. If this is Work Comp, and you feel like it's going to be a long drawn out recovery (which it sounds like) I suggest you find a lawyer, and one that handles TBI cases.

If not, have you checked out short or long term disability insurance with your company? My company immediately sent me all the information for those programs, but others might not.

Good luck to you, keep us informed.

Yes is WC. I am trying to get a referral now. It is frustrating. I was released to do moderate physical activity yesterday. Spent 1 hour this early morning mowing with a self propelled mower. I am paying for it now.

I guess it will be back to sedate activity level.

Hope I feel better soon.
