I can relate
This is my first concussion and it is devastating on the body & soul all together....Liar I been called in my search of a over a year for diagnosis! I got very angry and went on a one way ticket to hell....Luckily I stayed alive and free to get off that ticket to finally find one Dr that had a piece of compassion for me....
After I went into numerous Dr offices sounding Drunk (but was sober) and sent home empty handed, no hope, no direction, simply maybe some addictive prescription in hand that I would tear up and flush down toilet.....these Dr's basically were telling me to get back on my impulsive one way ticket being a threat to my soul.
Now in result from this I am emotionally a wreck amongst the long list! "But I suppose to make this positive change to get better" or to make therapies have a better result....
Well I think the hardest part is letting go of all these Dr's that helped me become a worse mess then just a straight diagnosis of a TBI/PCS!
The first thing I have learned in this new life of a month is "If it's not their problem, no one cares" Sad but true reality of life in any kind of situation!!
I am not trying to be a negative Nancy at all....I as well have had a horrible week with this "new"life....But at the end of the day I have to say thank you to all of this support group because we are all humans still and we all can relate to this complex syndrome....I do not know what I would do if I did not find you!
Rio I hope today goes better then before....and be strong to keep fighting with whatever result good or bad....I will be looking for your result post
