what happened in your accident?

I am getting very discouraged by my lack of ability to convey messages properly... it is bad when I am trying to re-finance my house and can not describe what we are trying to accomplish.. and it is simple...

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

I lost my job several years ago ... diagnosis at the time was fibromyalgia and RSI.

I didn't realize it at the time but I actually had Lyme Disease, methylation issues, and just recently found out I have atlas subluxation, and possibly more.

My symptoms are mostly neurological/nervous system related. I have 3 pages of symptoms, but I think I am slowly healing. Every doctor asks if i had been in a car accident, and I have not.
