Kevbo,

I can relate with how you feel. I'm miserable, I get dizzy very easy and puke. WC doesn't make this situation any easier. Hang in there man!

Probably an asinine question but im a cigarette smoker. I smoke about a pack to maybe two packs a week. Should I quit before the eeg? Not sure if that will effect anything at all though.

I don't know if it will change an EEG but if I am right smoking causes depleted oxygen to your brain.. and that can't be good... So if you can quit cold turkey.. DO IT... it can only help!

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.

Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)

Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture

Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath
