It's been almost a year since my accident and still experience the classic PCS symptoms. Cloudy/heavy head, headaches, dizziness, fatigue. I've been taking vitamins for almost 2 months now and am doing vestibular rehab/neck massaage 2x a week.
What gives me hope is I had 2 days of clarity of last week like the fog had suddenly lifted. I had glimpses of what I felt like before the accident and it was the most amazing feeling(has this ever happened to anyone). Unfortunately, I was on vacation the 2nd day and pushed myself too far with being on it in the heat all day and lost the feeling the next morning. I was looking for a new line of work before my accident and now I find myself in no man's land. My main priority is getting healthy and I have different Dr. appointments the next 2 months trying to figure out what can be making my symptoms persist(eye Dr., new neuro, sleep Dr.) I've always been successful in sports and prior work but now I'm not the same person I was before. I'm someone who does the best I can each day to have a positive mindset but struggle at times. I have a hard time imagining it possible to work 40 hr weeks in this state of mind. I'm starting to look for jobs but I'm not sure if I should be adding this stress into my life. All the Dr.'s tell me I have too much time on my hands to think about my situation so it makes my symptoms worse. I'm conflicted as to how long to wait before saying enough is enough; I need to accept my current state of mind and get on with my life vs. rest is what I need in my life and trying to rush back to work may negatively impact my brain in the long run. Thank you for any advice. |
