Default Anyone else experiencing this?

Officially past 6 months with PCS. Symptoms have decreased a bit but these have been 6 months of "hell". I just finally saw a neurologist and she was extremely angry i was advised that it was ok to continue with school via 2 ER doctors and my primary care doctor and was family pressured into staying. She is putting me on occupational and physical therapy. Also wants me to take extra B12 and Magnesium along with my multivitamin and putting me on nortriptyline hcl (taking that before bed) which i will not start until my last final at the end of the week. For the most part i can tell i have improved over 6 months but now i fatigue has been my enemy. I felt weak all the time and my arms and legs just feeling weak and twitch.

Suffice to say something does not feel right still. My family is getting fed up with me and i feel people are not taking me seriously. I know compared to others with more severe injuries and other regulars on this forum i am grateful to be in my position, but that does not mean i am OK. It seems no matter what i do i lose. Family comes over and they understand but i don't think they really get it. I try to explain but get nowhere. I asked my neurologist about the fatigue and the twitching, but she said it is probably stress and you need to sleep more.

I cannot do any physical activity (except walk b/c i have to). Any advise or helpful thoughts?
