Short synopsis: Walking into horizontal metal pole on 7/1/13. Was diagnosed by Emergency clinic/PCP shortly thereafter with concussion, then later with PCS. In the meantime, also diagnosed with Graves, which they believe was triggered from the concussion/PCS.

MRI & CAT scan clean. Have attempted to return to work (financial management) unsuccessfully on 2 different occasions. Have seen PCP, Neuro, Endocrinologist, and today NeuroPsych.

Am completely confused as to who to believe as I am constantly receiving conflicting info (which I share with each dr every time it happens.)

Endo states that Graves was mild case and since regulated shouldn't have any symptoms from it.

PCP states concussion & PCS w/ complication from Graves'. Initially told me to get out and about and resume my normal life, however has recently advised me to stay at home if that was where I felt less symptoms.

Neuro gave Nortriptaline & states Post Concussive migraines & am scheduled for Botox in January. Stated that should sleep less (which has occurred with the Nortrip and even more so with Wellbutrin).

Saw well respected Neuro Psych today who stated that she doesn't believe it is possible to get concussion from walking into pole, stated I am too high functioning (even though I felt beyond terrible and super slow during and after testing), that ppl who have concussions only get better and do not suffer setbacks by trying to actively use their brain. Suggested I should go about my life as normal.

Who the heck am I supposed to believe? I'm definitely not making up these symptoms, and I am tired of feeling stoned and retarded all the time but don't want to put myself in the position to feel worse (which happens with the most basic stimulation).

I am young and confident that I will at some point get better, however all the differences in opinions can be confusing. I just want this roller coaster ride to be over so I can return to work.

Is there anyone else who has had the same experiences and can share what has worked for them? I feel like when I mention the conflicting info to every doctor they say to just follow what they say.
