Yesterday was my referral appointment with a neurologist. After various tests he said 'I can't find anything wrong with you.' I've been referred for an MRI scan (I've already had a CT scan which didn't show anything up) and he said my symptoms will either subside in about another 6 months (I was concussed six months ago) or I won't get better.

He prescribed me amitryptiline for my chronic headaches, but I am very wary of anti-depressants even at lower doses because I have ongoing depression and have always reacted badly to meds. I haven't picked up the prescription yet. Something in my vision now isn't working properly either and he suggested I go to an optician.

I would like to try and help my recovery through lifestyle, supplementation and diet if possible. I don't really know where to start.

I feel disheartened as my symptoms really affect my life - fatigue, headaches, memory/vision problems, speling/counting difficultes etc. I just feel like I've been a bit 'dismissed' and a case of 'there there you'll eventually recover.'

Any advice?
