Thanks. ❤️. At least it's making me decrease my screen time.

I think if I could get rid of the headaches my mood and attention would improve. I wish I lived in europe.maybe I could actually afford to take a mo th or two off to recover.

I had a CT at the emergency room after my last one and looked ok. I may ask for an MRI at my follow up.

Anyone here have experience with post concussion syndrome?

In June we were building a chicken run and I was hit on the head with a 4x4 - i thought it was secure in the hole and let go, bent over to pick up the drill and it fell on my head (ouch). Anyway, this is at least my 3rd lifetime concussion- 4th if you count the whiplash injury- and I have had continuing sx since then.

I have almost daily headaches with light sensitivity, made worse by artificial light and computer screens. Also extremely impacted attention and focus and increased irritability. I have an eval coming up in 2 weeks at the concussion clinic, but I'm trying to find some sort of patient experience around this. A lot of online stuff is related to sports injuries, a lot of younger people focused information. Kind of just want someone who has experienced this to tell me it will go away (lol).

I'm also driving myself crazy reading medical provider level stuff, which is exactly why I tell my patients to stay off Google.

I've been taking magnesium, I got the f41 migraine glasses, I got a green light, I put my computer screen on night mode, I'm staying hydrated and trying to get enough sleep. Any other suggestions???

I could watch the protesters in Portland twerk in inflatable costumes all day. It's my new ASMR.

Yup. I always tell patients to call my office. The pharmacy sends all those requests and more via fax and the MAs get drowned in paperwork while also trying to see patients. A lot of the time is wasted with requests for meds and PAs that aren't needed. Like everything else in healthcare it's a dumpster fire.
