Consider~I love the spa as well just like making my PCS hobby of organic soaps that is relaxing as well....I know I could not take that retreat I am starting in rehabilitation now since my symptoms have calmed down since, I got a WAY LATE DIAGNOSIS of a concussion...When I was @ your stage I had no diagnosis or direction....I got a diagnosis in Nov 2012 and since then I spent this time focusing on all the steps I have posted in your thread about "Will it all go away" and I read self help books. I think personally I would do my own retreat in the house and save the cash for a trip with family or to look ahead(Don't look back lol)a trip to the islands with my family when my rehabilitation is all over....If you take the retreat I would be interesting in hearing about it.....

I am relaxed there usually and the best part is they understand my condition, so they turn off the music while I am there! The trip thing, in another forum I posted, was about going to a zen meditation retreat, its like rehab for your soul and your PCS.

Mia,

Please keep a journal of how people treat/mistreat you. If you need to protect your license, it is up to you to keep the records. My wife is dealing with a similar situation at her job. Her notes are all she has to protect her job. Plus, when you write it down, it is easier to put the anxiety out of your mind.

My best to you.
