I was in a MVA with whiplash and concussion. There was a brief loss of consciousness. Doctors were not much help and I just got told to rest for the better part of a year. It took over 3 months for a brain MRI and it was clear but I still wonder if it would have been if taken sooner.

I had some vestibular therapy but it didn't help much. I also had a run of PT that improved some things. After a neuropsychological exam I am finally getting the help I need at a rehabilitation center with physical, occupational, speech, and psychological therapy. I will soon see a psychiatrist and vocational rehabilitation is available later. Oh and I see a neuro opthamologist and physiatrist through them also.

My struggles are with near constant dizziness, constant headache, convergence insufficiency, anxiety, depression, aphasia, neck pain, arm weakness, nerve pain, ear fullness, loss of smell/taste, easily overwhelmed, vestibular issues, mood swings, sleep problems, light sensitive, cognitive stuff, memory
