Got good news MRI Brain is clear which means no ABI just PCS. Still have a bit of tinitus and Neuralgia left, as well as fatigue, no more collapses since early December, so things looking up!

Hi Mouse. Do you know what kind of MRI they did? Hope you're feeling better.

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

Yes thanks with the help of medication I am functioning at 90-95% now. Not sure what sort of MRI it was but everything is perfect according to it.
The hit to the head has left me with irritability, a degree of fatigue and neuropathic pain. My doctor said these are typical PCS symptoms from a frontal lobe hit. However I have the right med combo to work full time and exercise, so I am happy enough and my mood is reasonable. Good luck in your recovery and think positively!
