A message of encouragement for everyone! This is what I'd did today, all while taking car of my daughter (which necessitates multitasking!):
Cleaned my kitchen top to bottom Cleaned my bedroom Tidied up the living room and swept the floors Played with my daughter outside in the sunlight Went for a long walk Made cupcakes that were amazingly yummy Helped my husband make dinner Had a mini dance party with my husband and daughter Could I have done all of this 3 or 4 months ago? No way! Aside from some mild eye strain, I feel pretty great. Keep believing your symptoms will improve! Keep fighting to get the treatment you need to get better!

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. |
