What are the chances ALL my regular doctors would be away at the same time and I would hit again. Initial hit 1-20-2013 passed out Easter Sunday 2013 2nd hit and this fall...yea 3 whacks at once. I honestly thought my butt took the brunt of the abuse and the new higher dose of Klonopin was making me ill. I cut the dose back to half a mg a day like I was taking but it did not help. That is when I reached out for help and the whole mess began.

That's pretty unfortunate.

I fell down the stairs as well during my recovery but I did not hit my head, I just kind've slid down on my back.

Ugh I'm so sorry. I've had one bad relapse three months after my original injury when I lightly tapped my forehead on a tree (don't ask, it was from putting my daughter in the car next to a small tree) and that one set me back, in fact I haven't yet gone back to my previous level since and that was six weeks or so now. But I've also gotten little dings from my 17 month old son knocking me with a toy or his own head and I worried a ton about those but they didn't do anything. So long story just to say don't worry, you can't tell yet if this will relapse or worsen and chances are it won't. You can't change it either. But look into the meds making you dizzy - you don't want to fall again. Feel better

for you just because they never hurt!

I will be seeing the doc that upped my Klonapin in a week, it is his boss of sorts. He is the neck doctor and the assistant director for the physical med and rehab clinic. They did not prescribe the klonapin in the first place. The ear doc did and only a small dose to dampen the vestibular system so I might not be as dizzy. I have a lot of complaints about that clinic. I am seeing the neck doc in a different location. Maybe I can see him from now on or just bow out of the PMR all together now that I am in the headache clinic after all all he is doing is trying to control my headaches and there is no sense inpaying 2 doctors to do that.

It is getting hard to have hope anymore. hugs to you all keep on getting better!
