Brain, forgive yourself. I'm sorry you're having a rough time and many of us relate. We get the little "high" from doing so well for a day or two, and then we crash and burn when PCS bites back.

But the bite doesn't take us back to freshly injured. It can't take away all our progress. It's a steep hill on our journey but we keep moving forward, knowing there will be more days ahead that we can coast through.

You have been such an encourager to me. I believe it's your special talent and a gift to this forum. I hope you are encouraged today, when you read this.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
