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 |

You must have been exhausted.
Do you feel any better now after you've woken up more? |

You stole sleep from me. I hardly slept at all last night. Forgot to take my gabapentin.

I'm sure you get all the sleep from us and we are awake every night and you really knock down!!! Maybe you were exhausted and needed that sleep so bad.

god i would love to just sleep and sleep til this f'ing thing is over. but i'm terrified to try a new drug after dropping amatryptaline and starting sertaline (zoloft) caused an anxiety attack...which ended when i reversed course.
i'm getting 8 hours w/ occasional ambien, and the amatryp makes my legs jumpy when i take more than 12mg at night, so haven't found an approved way to knock myself out for say, 6 weeks. then i'd hopefully wake up and feel like myself again. any advice? or...is it: "there's no way out but through." |

just fantasizing here, but wouldn't it be great if we could just check ourselves into a swanky hospital, some sorta drug would knock us out and another drug would fix our brain. then we'd wake up with no memory of the horrors of pcs, but we would still be able to walk away with the wisdom gained. or not. f' wisdom.
