I posted in new members but here's the quick run down. I'm a school bus monitor and was attacked by a student on 3/17 of this year, he beat my head off the inside of the bus and I was eventually diagnosed with a concussion and now PCS.

I try to stay positive, and I know a lot of you out there have been dealing with these type of symptoms much longer, but some days I'm just so frustrated. I still don't feel like myself. The doctor has me on nortriptyline for the headaches and mood issues, meclizine for the dizziness, and I just started adderall for concentration, though it seems to be making everything worse.

I already had fibromyalgia before all of this, and that's the whole reason I was working as a bus monitor in the first place. I just feel like, I'm only 31, and I already had to manage one crappy disability, and I'm kind of terrified I'm going to have another. I'm sorry if this seems whiny or anything, it just seems like no one in my life understands what I'm going through right now, plus I still can't drive and I'm at home on workman's comp and kind of going crazy some days haha. Thanks for letting me vent a little.
