Default going to ask about early onset Parkinson's to my neurologist on Monday

the very vivid dreams the waking tremors the men problem bowel problems the chronic pain in the back of the head may be it is more than just the residuals from a brain injury. Either way I'm finding the symptoms increasingly difficult to live with and feel very alone. The symptoms started when I injured my head and 39 as I was about to start a late family so I don't have kids and don't have a job and don't know what to do.

Early onset Parkinson's is a side effect of a concussion... I would ask..

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
