I'd better PM you on this one as it's getting a bit off the topic of the thread.

Exactly what I have. I can't stand having to explain this to doctors. They simplify everything into broad categories and it's infuriating.

The soft spots on my head are sore so the doctor calls it a "headache". But it's not a traditional headache.

getting too hot seems to be one of my worse triggers...head pounds, headaches follow if i don't cool down right away. luckily fall is here.

I felt horrible last night and even worse today Like my anxiety is back and I just don't feel "right" Have you ever experienced anything like this?

Today was my second therapy appointment and once again they referred me to someone else. Its like once I get in there and start talking, the therapist has never seen/ heard anything like this and pushes me off to another person. I would love to have someone helpful for the talk therapy. You're more than right, PCS in a lonely place.

Sorry you are having trouble with sleep. I think that it effects so many of us and just sets the tone for a miserable day. With all that negative, it is wonderful that we have this to come to or support. I am so grateful for that!

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.

Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.

Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
