Default just read reviews on the doctor i'm seeing tomorow...

he is arrogant and doesn't listen and you usually see a pa. great lol. I'm wondering how to approach this so they don't just say I'm depressed and send me home. the funny thing is they took the eye test that showed brain damage when I went to a different doctor there three years ago. when they told me I was fine and I confrontd them with the eye test results they said oh yeah you must have some organic brain damage that we can't see. lol thanks for telling me what I already know. mark in Idaho if you read this do you know what test was called. as I recall my eyes had to follow dots on a screen. I tested positive for vertical nystagmus.

I would think you have realized the uselessness of most neuros.

It may be from inadequate serotonin. I take L-Tryptophan to reduce this 'looping' problem. I also have songs I can switch to to break the cycle. I call it juke boxing.

I had a similar symptom except with some cartoon. It was just there. I am not even sure how I recalled the images or from what/when. But I saw cartoon characters for a while in my head at random times. It went away though.

Mark, I think you need to write a guidebook for those with PCS. I am dead serious.
