I couldn't return to work earlier because of binocular vision issues and vertigo migraines. Both have been addressed through vision therapy and medication-not resolved but are manageable now. I also feel that if I don't return to work, albeit somewhat minimum work levels, I am about to be fired! So I will try.

It's really isolating to be with mtbi and recovering from pcs. I did do volunteer work at 1.5 years. This seem to help with the social aspects of work, and the administrative processing. The risk was very low. I got to work through a lot of my own fears about being ready or not through volunteering and that helped!

Your neuropsych can also help with a return to work plan as well!

Best of luck!
