When you can add more into you daily activity? It seems every time I try I backslide immensely...
For example I took a yoga class on monday... after the class I had severe brain fog (had to stop the car and tell myself to focus because I was running stop signs), a headache that resembles those that I had about 2 months out (according to my journal), ringing in my ears that is louder than it has been. I just don't know how I should be able to tell... I thought i was ok to do some activity.. turns out I wasn't... This goes for work too... I find myself thinking I am good, I can go back...and then I will attempt to read a post or something else that does not have any spacing and I realize that if i can't read, i can't go back...

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 |
