Thank you!
My most recent 'major' was in May '19 (5 months), from which the dizziness and vision stemmed and have never improved. Other symptoms such as headache, fatigue, cognitive from the 'milder' events (Nov '18 and Mar '19) have steadily decreased almost disapearing and seem to be impacted mostly by vision items. The headache seems to be connected to the cervical area ... are those still migraines, or other? A couple minor bumps/events seem to be more escalating for a week or two, only. I'll take a look at the book. I'm finding it difficult to find physicians who can help me understand this. Thanks for the info on vision & vestibular lingering, the book, and sharing your experience.

I can't claim to know specifically what your headaches are related to. I do know that there are people on this forum who have found relief from getting a neck problem from their initial accident sorted out. I have no experience with that.
I have also had trouble finding a good doctor. I've resulted to doing phone consults with a neurologist two states away. I hope you land on a good one. Best of luck! |

Thanks!
By the way, how DOES one find a good neurologist for a consult?....I've asked around both friends and professionals, and it seems to be challenging. Quote:

Very few neurologists are any help with concussions. They may be excellent with other issues but since they cannot objectively assess a concussion, they struggle to make sense.
A physiatrist may be helpful. Call around looking for a physiatrist who is good with concussions. A physiatrist would be otherwise categorized as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Some of the best are affiliated with Neuro Rehab Hospitals.

it may also be helpful to find a 'headache specialist', whether that person is a Neurologist or PM&R doctor. and make sure you do research on all doctors before a referral is made -> make sure you are being sent to the RIGHT doctor, and not just the first available opening!
