Hi!
![]() Yep, it's me again! But this is kind of important right now. I am having a neurologist appointment tommorrow! Today my vestibular theraphy therapist(30 years of experience) and me were discussing my symptoms. I am not having any cognitive damage at all. My balance improved to normal trough theraphy. Visual snow, Dream Feeling, Flashes, Light+Sound Sensivity, lightheadedness, Ice pick headaches and ear ringing, Tingeling+electric shock feeling are my symptoms. It's gets worse trough stress and concentration. The symotinms are there all the time, not just coming and going. It's like being trapped in that migraine aura all the time. She told me, that she, in her 30 years of working with concussed clients, has never seen anyone like me. She talked with another doctor of mine. They both agree I might have Post Concussion Migraines. They are kind of helpless! It's no upper neck issue, I asked because of that. So, I really want some kind of meds that will decrease my concussion level. I never have rested so much in my whole life but there is no improvemnet. Not even a single symptom improved a bit. All the symptoms occured after I stopped playing sports with a concussion. So, there are a lot of question I am gonna asked tomorrow! Did anyone went trough that too, or knows any medications for that? Or any question I could asked my neurologist? Is it possible to heal from Post Traumatic Migraines, or did I damage my brain? Thanks and sorry for spamming! ![]() |

Lui,
I have looked through your past posts, and may have missed a few: - what medications are you taking? - are you on the supplements suggested on Mark's listing? I understand your anxiety when you hear such news from your health providers but there are still avenues of therapy available, hang in there. ![]() Best Wishes.

I doubt it. They just have not found the problem yet.
Often, when doctors can not fix a problem, they either say the problem does not exist or that they can't help.

Lui,
Don't stress too hard. The doctors told me that I would die and do not know how I lived. They just do not know everything for fact. They make their best guess but sometimes they are wrong. Prove them wrong! Let us know what happens. Good luck. Brain ![]()
