Default Scary observation
I have been in Dallas at my parents house since last Thursday night... While I have been here I have done one activity per day that requires 'brain power'.. either a doctors apt or dinner with an old friend...

My parents have also been on vacation... So I have had a lot of time to just do nothing... and my headache has diminished not gone by any means but on the pain scale a steady 4 vs a steady 6-7 ... can dealing with my family on a daily basis really be causing my body so much stress that it makes me have this terrible headaches? If so, what can i do about it when I go home?

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
