I am already stuck in this mess, can not do any thing till next year .
I have to make it work as my employer will give up on me if I dont see any improvements with in couple of weeks. My only hope now is physical therapy and chiro. Hope for the best.

Here is a helpful guide to TBI for employers that I provided to my boss when I returned to work: http://www.mayo.edu/pmts/mc1200-mc1299/mc1298.pdf

My doctor basically ignored me last visit and said I should try to push myself to be ready to resume work in 1 month. I am getting better, but she wouldn't know for not listening to my symptoms.

So mad. I got a second opinion and that doctor had no idea what the "push yourself" was supposed to help with. No idea how to proceed now.

so... if you can find a good doctor who will listen to you and think about your problems, cherish him or her
