Today I was walking downstairs and my over exuberant animals rushed by. I am not sure if one caught my pant leg or i just lost my balance but down i went. I hit the right side of my head on thhe wall and the back off of at least two steps. I feel like crap, not that it is much different from any other day.......dang wonder how far this is going to set me back. I am just venting thanks for listening!

You truly have my sympathy, and I hope this is just a minor speed bump in your recovery.

But dang I hate stairs. A similar thing happened to me except I made the mistake of walking down the stairs when I was very drowsy in the morning - haven't done that since.

So yesterday I spent the entire day in bed and slept a lot. Today I am dizzier than I have been even with nice dose of klonapin I take daily and shaky on my feet. A small bump on the side of the ole bean and the back is a bit sore, along with my back and bum LOL... Gotta find some humor in it right?

Laura,

Why are you taking 'a nice dose of Klonopin daily,' especially if it makes you dizzy ? Could you reduce your dose or take something that does not make you dizzy ?

It is for my dizziness and veritgo, i have a bad balance sensor in my left ear. I was taking meclizine it quit working. Any and all motion with my head or eyes makes me ill. I could not even complete my vestibular therapy program after three attempts.

Sadly i feel worse today, pressure in my head and every little thing is an extreme effort. Just went back to bed, writing from my phone n its hard to look at so i bid you good night.

What are the chances.....I was not feeling any better so Monday I called the office of my PMR who is out of the country left a message and figured it is a clinic someone else would call me back.....no return call. The next day my very upset husband left a message too.

In hope of help I called my neurologist, spoke to her nurse she said wow a lot has been going on with you I see from your charts and your doctor is on vacation you should contact your concussion specialist. I told her well she is on Maternity leave and I have not yet seen her covering doctor. she told me to call anyhow.

I called my Concussion Doctor's office who had the other doctors office call me. Same group but a different secretary. They told me to call my PCP but I said I would but you folks haf not sent her any reports so she is not well informed on what has been happening. So she then said to call my my PMR...LOL I started from the beginning angain so she called them and I got a call in 15 minutes from a snippy nurse who told me to go to the urgent care.

I hate run around especially when I dont feel well. They called the next day to see if I went I said no they told me to go to the ER.

So I called my PCP and explained the whole thing to her and asked her advice......Do you think it is the increased Klonopin or from hitting my head? she said hitting your head and take the Klonopin and go to the er get a cat scan to make sure you do not have a slow bleed.

Last night when my hubby came home from work we went to the ER, I was examined, given a "migraine cocktail" and they were going to send me home. I had to tell them my PCP wanted me to have a cat scan and why before they did it and then said I am fine and sent me home.

What a waste of time and guess what I still feel like crap........
it would be my luck I would get hurt and ALL of the doctors looking after me are gone and my PMR can go jump in a lake I may just never go back to that office again. It is one of the doctors above him I will be seeing for my neck we will be having a chat! This is not the first time there have been issues with him or his office.

Please send calming peaceful thoughts my way .......I am way more worked up than I need to be and just can not let it go, I hurt to bad and it seems no body can take the pain away. Today is day 438 with headache.
