Hey all

to give a rough overview - slipped in the shower and hit the front of my head back in Nov 2018. felt kind of dizzy the rest of the day, and in the weeks to come I would notice tinnitus, felt very disconnected, cognition hindered, etc... just about everything except for headaches oddly enough. I also managed to bump heads with a friend while dancing about a month and a half after, and in the past two months following this incident my recovery has felt verrrrry slow, if not non existant.

Where I'm at now is that, I feel I'm at a point where I kind of need to take things into my own hands and get all the evaluation possible- ophthalmological, neurocognitive/psychological, what you have it, to pinpoint possible rehabilitation strategies, otherwise the months will just go by and nothing will change significantly.

I addressed this concern to my GP, who told me to send an email to the neurology department. However, the neurologist emailed back saying that there is nothing to be done and to simply make sure I live a healthy lifestyle. While I don't want to discount the merit in this, is it wrong of me to think it would be helpful for someone to assess the deficits I have?

I think this could be of most benefit for my eyes- while I had a normal eye exam a few weeks ago, I've got some strange visual disturbances including afterimages, light flashes when looking at the sky, and visual snow especially in the dark. Perhaps this is linked with the overall dream-like way that I feel most of the time?

Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone can relate to this sort of standstill with medical care- where do I go to get a full evaluation? or does this not really matter? thanks and hope we all get through these confusing times
