My husband says he doesn't feel like I'm connected to him anymore. I've recovered so much, I'm trying so hard, and this really took me by surprise. He said he's been feeling this way ever since I was pregnant, so the problem is, I'm not sure if this is related to new parenthood or PCS or both. We're going to go to a marriage counselor. I was really blindsided by this. I feel very connected to him and had no idea he was feeling this way. I feel totally confident that we can work through our problems, but I'm a little scared that maybe I haven't recovered as much as I thought, if the PCS symptoms are at the root of the problem. I really feel like my old self though! Why doesn't he feel it too? Or is it just that my daughter is so demanding that I end uP focusing so much on her that I've neglected our relationship? I honestly don't know what to think. Has anyone been through this?

I have recovered my cognitive function, and I've overcome severe vertigo through sensory integration therapy. Wellbutrin has helped me escape depression. I have recently had a few stress-related migraines, as well as headaches stemming from eye strain. I'm also dealing with tinnitus, lack of stamina, extreme light sensitivity, and eye pain. Diagnosed with 9 different vision issues: convergence insufficiency, pursuit eye movement deficit, egocentric visual midline shift, photophobia, visual information processing delays, accommodative insufficiency, saccadic eye movement deficit, lack of coordination, and central peripheral visual integration deficit. *First concussion: October 2010. I was pregnant and got rear ended. I associated my mild PCS symptoms with baby brain and blamed my light sensitivity on allergies and dry eyes. *Second concussion: December 2011. I hit my head on a wooden beam, saw stars but did not lose consciousness, and I had very disturbing PCS symptoms but didn't go to the doctor. *Third concussion: August 2012. I caused a car accident as a result of PCS symptoms. Thankfully no one was injured but me. My husband confronted me, and I finally sought help and took medical leave from work. My symptoms worsened, and I developed severe vertigo. *Fourth concussion: November 2012. I was riding in a car with a friend and we were hit head on by a driver who lost control of her car. I didn't have a big increase in PCS symptoms. |
