If you are still in the Stanford area you are really close to us. We have tried a number of doctors and I will reply with more names but PLEASE check out the integrative clinic at Stanford. My daughter has PCS for almost 2 yrs. We are now making headway but she did do the acupuncture at the integrative clinic and had huge relief for a few days at a time to her symptoms pretty much right away.I will write more tomorrow...it's a bit late right now

regards,

Thank you!! Yes I'm in Palo Alto! I would really appreciate your help! I feel there are so many doctors out there and I feel so confused. Thank you for telling me about the integrative clnic. I will definitely look into it.

Regarding your doctor's acupuncture treatments. How often were they done? Were they done everyday?

Thank you so much.

Default Thoughts

Sorry to hear of your frustrations. I think that Drs. know nothing about PCS and only treat the symptoms - I don't think my Dr. even believes my struggles with PCS - so frustrating.

Hang in there.

Default my stanford visit

I also go to Stanford. the neurologist is a specialist in tbi and pcs. you would not know it. I read her reports and wonder if I was at the same appointment. I say I have been drinking less she writes I have been drinking more. how in the world do I get that corrected. after 3 visits she truly believes I have pcs and says see you in 6 months. that is the action plan. I feel like its me and the internet with this one.


me.... mva. fractured c2. herniated c7. concussion. 10 days later walked into a pole. gave over. daily headaches now. confusion. numbness. getting lost. insomnia, sleepiness. isolation. good psychiatrist who is my best friend for $200 per hour. 57 y/o pharmacist that now can not make change at a drive thru.
