Hi,
I am recovering from PCS since my last concussion on 9/2011. It has been slow severe and complicated to say the least. I have had all the symptoms typically associated with PCS. Vertigo is my biggest enemy and headaches. overstimulation, noise, light and fatigue, I have trouble scanning and at times cant find the right words but know what I want to say .... just cant say it. And then some days I am fine, and can multi task, laugh and process at a normal persons level. My sympathetic nervous system is on overdrive and I get hugely emotional when I am highly symptomatic. I just want my life back and today computer reading/ work is hard. Anyone....everyone.... what have you been doing to get well again and will I ever have my life back... I have a new dr. and he is a neuro chiropracter and THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS IT! My GP has been awesome and has tried everything we can find... but HE GETS IT! and as you may or may not have found not may dr.s do. Here is a list of what I have tried. Neurology, Neuro Psych testing, Opthomology, Optometry, PT, OT, Chiropractic, diet changes, coconut oil, rose tinted lenses, ... got any other suggestions? |

Patience, then more patience.
When you have a great day, do not look at it as a signal to return to full activities. When you have had a month or two of continuous good days, start to slowly return to normal activities. You are only 4 months post concussion. Nutritional help takes months to see improvements. What is your neuro-chiropractor doing for you ?

This is more then four months Mark. Deannal you said last concussion on 9/2011?How many concussions have you had?Have you been treated for BPPV?Did you get tested for your balance?I am a few months ahead of you if your concussion was 9/2011. I can relate to the slow severe and complicated and I have four impairments that I am just getting to start rehab. For my Vertigo I found relief in vestibular therapy. I just want to let you know that I can relate to your conditions.
