Pretty much everyone on here said this would be the case. But I still had my hopes up for a result. You must wonder, they have to see so many concussions of this nature they do believe they get better within 12 months naturally.

He did recommend anti depressents to reduce the symptoms, but I just don't feel adding more possible issues is going to help.

What did you expect him to do ?

There is no standard comprehensive treatment for PCS.

You just treat each symptom. Some symptoms are not treatable.

Oh, I didn't really expect him to do anything. But more insight on the nature of the injury itself, expectations, what limitations to put on myself (if I should try and push through the symptoms etc) would have been useful. In short, you can learn as much (or a lot more) browsing on here as you can seeing a neurologist was my experience.

I have the same question about whether or not I should push through my symptoms - I think I've found the answer for myself that pushing "through" them is not helpful. I still wonder if I should push up to my limit and stop, or if I should back off and stay back away from the limit.

For example, if I can walk 1/4 mile now, should I do that every day? Or should I back off my walking to, say, 1/8 mile in order to rest my brain and stay relatively symptom-free and check back once a week or so on whether or not I can now make it to 1/2 mile?

Advice welcome - thanks!
