I can relate to the feeling different and agree it is the most disturbing symptom, I could almost deal with all the other problems if I didn't feel like it changed me as a person

people here tend to say that you won't ever be the same after this injury but then I see where people make recovery's and feel normal again so im not sure whats gonna happen

I guess all we can do is wait and see what the future holds for us

Hi there!


I don't have magic advice. I just thought I'd tell you that our injuries have a very close timeline to the other and I've been told I'm early in my recovery... And I recognize my own anxiety and impatience within your post, which people have admonished me for, but I feel for you.


The despair of anxiety crushes my hope sometimes too, but I've made a commitment to myself to work through it, because essentially, what else can one do?


My best friend is an ice pack. My enemy is unrealistic expectation. I make an effort to spend the most time with the best friend, especially after a sighting of my enemy.


I hope you have some relief of symptoms soon. There's great advice in the forums, worth browsing. I don't know if it helps, but I also hope you feel less alone and frightened. There is hope and healing in store for us!

MsRriO,

Thanks so much for the support. You sound so sincere, and I really do feel less alone. I'm not looking for magic advice, as much as I wish it existed...hang in there, and I will too.
