I have been seeing a neurologist recommended by my primary physician (who I love).

I'm not impressed by him AT ALL. He never explained even what a concussion was, the symptoms, PCS, etc., and 2 days after I saw him (the day after my car accident), I started getting increasing numbness in my face and head, bad headaches, dizziness, increasing difficulty processing information, so called my PCP who told me to go to the ER.

The ER doc is the one who explained all this was PCS and told me to take it easy, not push it, not do mentally or physically taxing things - even not to balance my checkbook. This neurologist never told me any of this. Nor did he offer any suggestions on how to ease back into normal activities like work, driving, etc., and I know from what I've read that if you don't do it right you can slow your recovery.

It's obvious I need to find a new neurologist and ideally someone trained in the treatment of TBI/PCS.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how to go about this? I'd be most appreciative. Today was my first day back at work for 8 hours, and I am exhausted and my head is spinning.... (My accident was 2/20).

Thanks.
