Default New Member with a couple questions

I was involved in an MVA on Feb. 19, 2013. I was stopped at a stop sign when a tractor trailer doing 30 mph rear ended me. Sent my car through the intersection, sideswiped another car sitting at the SS coming the other way, ricocheted off of that car went over a snow bank and was stopped when I ran into another snow bank on the other side of a driveway. I remember the impact, which broke my driver’s seat, and thinking to myself as I lay flat on my back looking at the interior ceiling of the car “why is everything brown?” and “why am I rocking” as I bounced off of the car and went over the snow bank. When the car hit the snow and stopped I sat up, unplugged my iPod, put it in my jacket pocket, and passed out. I awoke a few minutes later to a policeman looking in my driver’s side window. I was able to stand while the EMT’s guided me to a stretcher (after they put the neck brace on) and I was transported to the hospital.

Upon arrival a physician examined my eyes and told me that I had a concussion. I was taken for a CAT scan and had a couple of doctors examine me while in the room. They gave me 4 mg’s of morphine and sent me home. Total time in the ER was about 3 hours.

They told me that if I still had a headache in a week I should see a physician. Which I did.

Absent any real good guidance I made some mistakes in my recovery, suffered a setback and have not been ‘good’ since.

At this point any kind of exertion causes a headache and the foggy feeling to return. Headaches and fog are daily. The last ‘clear’ day that I had was last Friday, which was the day after an MRI.

The MRI resulted in a diagnosis of Migraine Associated Vasculopathy. I can’t find anything on line about that and was hoping someone here could decipher that for me.

I am currently waiting for an appointment with a neurologist and was hoping to get some feedback on what I should look for when I get there and some questions to ask.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
