First time poster. Just found this site and after reading some threads I suddenly dont feel al alone or crazy.
While at work in my police cruiser I was rear ended and hit my head on the steering wheel. The speed of the guy who hit me was sufficient to destroy my cruiser and leave the impression of the steering wheel cover on my forehead.
This was on January 2nd 2008 so I am going on 4 months PCS. Headaches. balance problems. light/noise sensitivities, concentration and attention problems. Also I have no patience anymore. Problems with depression and anxiety as well as a diagnosis of PTSD....the accident brought out a lot of things from my job as I deal with death quite a bit.

Neurologist has me on 30mg of Elavil at bedtime and 10mg of Beta blocker(nadolol) in the morning. Seems to have the headaches down to a 3/10 pain wise so I can function.

Not driving yet as I dont have the attention necessary to do so and get overwhelmed in any kind of "busy" environment, like even a room full of people.

Before accident I exercised about 3 hours per day.....grappling, kickboxing, running and weights. Since I havent been able to do anything as it makes the apin behind my eye hurt unbearably. Consequently I have gained about 15 pounds of fat....

I am not the same with my kids or wife. I feel like a different person and that no one understands why I am not getting better. I wish I had broken my femur so people could see a cast.
